UPDATED: Founding Family Receives Court Approval For Plan Of Reorganization

August 27, 2010 By 1 Comment

FERTITTA FAMILY TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF STATION CASINOS

LAS VEGAS – Station Casinos, led by Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta, received approval today from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Company’s joint plan of reorganization.  The plan, as approved, keeps all of the company’s wholly-owned properties and assets within the Station Casinos’ family; these properties include Palace Station, Texas Station, Sunset Station, Red Rock Resort, the Fiestas, Santa Fe Station, Wild Wild West, the multiple Wildfire casinos, gaming entitled land holdings.

The Fertitta brothers will be the largest shareholder of the Company and will remain in charge of the management of all these properties.  As part of the restructuring, the Fertitta brothers are re-investing $150 million in the Company and will have new equity partners.

The Fertitta family founded Station Casinos in 1976 with a 5,000 square foot casino (which has grown to what is known today as Palace Station) and grew it into the largest and most popular locals’ casino company by offering guests a great entertainment experience, value and friendly service.

With the bankruptcy process now concluded, the final step in the restructuring process will be seeking the necessary regulatory licenses and approvals from the Nevada Gaming Control Board and Nevada Gaming Commission.

Founding Family Retains Control and Ownership of Station Casinos

LAS VEGAS – FRANK AND LORENZO Fertitta, the founding family of Station Casinos, were approved today by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court as the winning bidder in the sale of some of the Company’s properties and assets which includes, among other things, Texas Station, the Fiestas, Santa Fe Station, the multiple Wild Fire casinos and gaming entitled land holdings.

The $772 million “Stalking Horse” bid was deemed the highest and best offer by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Gregg Zive in Reno, Nev.

The Fertitta brothers will be the largest shareholder of the Company and will remain in charge of the management of all these properties as well as Palace Station, Boulder Station, Sunset Station, the Wild, Wild West and Red Rock Resort.

The Fertitta family founded Station Casinos in 1976 with a 5,000 square foot casino (what is known today as Palace Station) and grew it into the largest and most popular locals’ casino company by offering guests a great entertainment experience, value and friendly service.

The next step in the bankruptcy process will be the confirmation of the Company’s joint plan of reorganization which will be considered by the court at a hearing scheduled for August 27 and 28.

$500,000 Video Poker Thursdays at Station Casinos. It’s Great News!

August 9, 2010 By Leave a Comment

SWEET! FINALLY! IT’S about time! Thank you!

Thank you Station Casinos for thinking of the Video Poker players. We always seem low on the radar, just because we do a bit more than press a button (no offense to you reel and slots players, to each his or her own). But we love our game(s) and appreciate that you are thinking about us.

Finally, we’ll be glad to hear “that guy” come over the intercom and announce how “You can win $5-$25 every 30 seconds on your favorite Video Poker Machine, just play with your Boarding Pass Card,” every Thursday from 2pm-8pm.

Plus we get to play in Video Poker Tournaments (man, I hope I get a Royal, or Aces with a kicker), top 50 scores win cash at each Station Casino and Fiesta, every Thursday from 10am-7pm. Then to top it off, while playing all day, I’m earning entries (50 points = 1 drawing entry) into the 8:15pm drawings, where 1 player will win $10,000 and 250 more players will get $250…cash.

Las Vegas Karaoke Nights at Station Casinos

August 2, 2010 By 2 Comments

Disco Karaoke at Fiesta Henderson on July 24 got funky.

IF YOU LIKE karaoke (and who doesn’t after a few cocktails), then you’ll love Rock and Game Gameshow. It’s like a more-interactive version of karaoke. Let’s say karaoke on steroids.

It’s the brain-child of Stevenson Brooks, who plays the acoustic guitar, and Matthew Phillips, who acts as host while coaching the audience how to be a rock star. Willing participants play games like, “Name That Tune,” “Don’t Forget the Lyrics,” “Song Lyric Trivia,” “Craziest Dance,” and “Laz-y-oke (karaoke from your chair).”

Rock and Roll Gameshow is currently at Green Valley Ranch’s Quinn’s Irish Pub on Wednesday nights from 8pm to 11pm, and Boulder Station’s Kixx Bar on Saturday nights from 8pm to 11pm.

We hope you’ll join the fun.

If you still like your karaoke the traditional way, here are four places to sing karaoke weekly in Las Vegas at Station and Fiesta Casinos.

Sing along to your favorite songs at these locations for karaoke in Las Vegas:

Karate Karaoke

  • Quinn’s Irish Pub at Green Valley Ranch
  • Thursdays from 7pm – 11pm

Karaoke Kraze

  • Cabo Lounge at Fiesta Rancho
  • Thursdays from 8pm – 1am


Cocktails & Karaoke featuring DJ Miguel

  • Kixx Bar at Boulder Station
  • Fridays from 8pm – 1am

Karaoke Live

  • Cerveza Cantina at Fiesta Henderson
  • Saturdays from 8:30pm – 12:30am

App No. 1: Crab Cakes
Where: Tbones Chophouse at Red Rock
Chef Joseph’s Comment: We start with with jumbo lump crab meat, some of the best crab meat on the market. By lightly pan-frying the crab cake with clarified butter, we create a thin golden brown crust that traps in the moisture, sealing in the juices for extra deliciousness. The crab cakes are served with a cajun remoulade made with creole mustard, lemon and pickles. We also top them with crispy potato strings.

Summertime Las Vegas Concerts at Station Casinos (Part 1)

May 19, 2010 By 1 Comment

SUMMERTIME IN LAS Vegas means hot days (a.k.a. pool season) and fun-filled crazy nights. We covered your afternoons and some great Las Vegas casino pool tips last week, and now we want to be sure you know where to enjoy your evenings with this impressive lineup of live music in Las Vegas. Currently, there are more than 40 concerts on tap for you this summer. This week, we hope you enjoy this three-part series written to showcase the variety, quality and value you can expect from Station Casinos concerts.

Part 1 of 3: Variety

Las Vegas is a city everyone can enjoy, so we make sure there’s music for everyone when you get here, or if you live here. Let’s call it an all-you-listen buffet of live Las Vegas music that you hope never ends (sort of like a guitar riff from Robert Cray). That’s why our Entertainment Department is the best in the business. If you like smooth jazz, country classics or if you just plain wanna rock, Station Casinos is your best bet.

Kicking off our summer concerts at Red Rock is The Robert Cray Band, this Saturday, May 22 inside the 450-seat Rocks Lounge. (Tip: Check into the 8-ticket VIP package for a great party!). Followed by The Memorial Weekend Concert Series: George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic on Friday, Loverboy on Saturday, and OK Go and The Cab on Sunday. (How are we doing so far on the variety?)

Jazz fans will love Guitars & Saxes featuring Gerald Albright, Jeff Golub, Kirk Whalum and Peter White at Boulder Station (5/28); R & R featuring Rick Braun & Richard Elliot at Aliante Station (6/18); and an evening under the stars at Sunset Amphitheater with Dave Koz, Jonathan Butler and special guest Sheila E (7/24).  There’s more: Michael Franks, Ottmar Leibert and Chris Botti are all on the schedule. Here’s a link for times and to buy concert tickets to our Las Vegas shows.

After Green Valley Ranch won an Academy of Country Music Award for 2010 Casino of the Year, you knew Station Casinos would continue to deliver great Country music. This summer, we have you Country fans covered. Check the top two spots of the current Billboard Country Chart and come back tomorrow to learn more about our Las Vegas Country concerts in tomorrow’s post – Part 2: Quality.

You already know Red Rock ROCKS (Loverboy, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Dave Mason, Patty Smyth And Scandal – plus much more in the Party On The Rocks Series), but this summer – there’s great rock concerts all around the Las Vegas Valley. Classic hard-rockers Great White take the stage July 30 at Sunset Station Amphitheater for a Listener Appreciation Party with KOMP 92.3, and Kenny Loggins is set to perform under the stars there the very next night. ASIA plays Green Valley Ranch on September 3, and look for even more summer concert announcements to come!

Hey, we told you there was variety!

(Continued in Part 2, showcasing the quality of entertainment you’ll see this summer!)
