February 2, 2012 By Leave a Comment

HI, I’M KYLE Markman, Nightlife Director at Station Casinos. Locals, hear me out: There’s a lot going in your neighborhood casinos this month that you’re going to want to know about. So much so, that I made a list.

A Commitment To Earn Loyalty Through Excellence

February 2, 2012 By Leave a Comment

 

SEVERAL WEEKS ARE in the history books in this still faintly brand new year.  As we had hoped and expected, our properties have started the year very strong. It seems an appropriate time for some thoughts on what lies ahead in 2012.

This January marks for us another colorful page in a remarkable comeback story. Station Casinos has looked to improve each and every year since some well publicized rough seas not so long ago. Our most recent chapter is a point of pride for me personally, and for Station Casinos as a whole.

Since emerging from bankruptcy our Team Members have shown a renewed commitment towards service excellence.

Our guests, (both local and non-local), have picked up on this renewed focus on service and we are deeply committed to continuing on this course.

Our aim is to climb this mountain all the way to the top and plant a flag that lets our competitors know that we are not just here to compete. We are committed to winning!

It is our goal to win guests’ continued patronage for years to come, and we make a promise to live up to our guests’ expectations. Our stated goal is not to sit back and admire what we’ve done in the past, but rather to keep stoking the flame that symbolizes our return to prominence.

Observers will notice a rather aggressive attitude toward winning guest loyalty from the top down. Our aim is not toward maintaining the new and improved status quo, but in maintaining the trajectory of our improvements.

The quality found in our hotels, casinos and resorts will be such that a first time visitor will become a long time friend. Our goal is for the next (or first) experience of each and every guest of our properties to be a memorable one.

To simplify my vision, if we have the opportunity to host a guest once, the guest will count the days until their next visit. 2012 provides us a great opportunity to raise our own expectations and to impress our guests like never before. We are committed to excellence and we are committed to consistently earn guest loyalty.

In Search Of The Deal

February 1, 2012 By Leave a Comment

 

IF YOU’RE LIKE me, when it comes to dining, you’re perpetually in search of a deal. It’s not so much to do with financial concerns, although you can’t be too frugal these days.  For many like me, it’s more about the challenge. It’s just fun to find a great value after putting some small bit of effort into the search.

Wine is a good place to start. When ordering an expensive wine on occasion I expect big things and can only be satisfied or disappointed (although I expect the former). But if I take a chance on a $35 bottle that I don’t know anything about, there’s an “excitement of the chase” that’s also brought “to the table”.

I can’t help but get excited, that this may be my next great find, my new favorite that won’t break the bank. In this spirit, and that of the New Year, I plan to try new things. It may be a wine from a new region, a new style, a new varietal.

This determination applies to other aspects of the dining experience.  It may be a new exotic beer or a freshly invented cocktail. My adventure may well go beyond beverage and into the realms of the kitchen. I look forward to trying a new fish I’ve never heard of or pasta that I’ve previously ignored.

One thing I am certain to find on such a quest with this type of mandate is new territory. That’s what it’s all about. That’s the tastiest morsel, the part that is most memorable. I can’t think of any better approach, to dining or to life in 2012.

Where to Watch UFC 143 in Las Vegas

January 30, 2012 By Leave a Comment

WE KNOW THERE’S a little something going on this Sunday night in the sports world – but that doesn’t discount another super event here in Las Vegas this Saturday night. Not long ago, the UFC 143 main event could have been considered a welterweight title unification bout.  Ex-Strikeforce champ Nick Diaz will be in a brawl vs. Ex-WEC champ Carlos Condit for the interim welterweight belt. The winner goes up against UFC 170-lb. champ, Georges St. Pierre to unify the belt – presumably later this year after GSP recovers from an injury.

Several great fights are lined up on the fight card for UFC 143. My picks for DON’T BLINK fights are Josh Koscheck vs. Mike Pierce and local fighter Roy “Big Country” Nelson vs. Fabricio Verdum in what’s sure to be a heavyweight slugfest. Koscheck gets a lot of boos, but the fact is, he’s a well-rounded vet wrestler who’s not afraid to bang, and Mike Pierce is an up and coming guy who just beat up a very tough Jon Fitch. Roy Nelson is a lean machine now, and he’s hungry for a title shot. Verdum has fought the top heavyweights in several organizations, so… you know, don’t blink.

We will be watching at one of the UFC 143 Fight Parties in Las Vegas at Station Casinos listed below.

*PLEASE NOTE: Sunset Station had a scheduling conflict, so those who are used to watching with us at Club Madrid will want to cruise over to Fiesta Henderson, GVR or Boulder Station if you’re looking for a fun place to watch UFC 143 in Henderson.

The Best Hotel Experience Excels At Making You Feel At Home

December 21, 2011 By 4 Comments

 

WHEN WAS THE last time someone made you feel at home during your travels?

I have stayed at hundreds of hotels, some big and some small. Some have been expensive and some of them were dirt cheap! But it was the hotel where I had little to no expectations that I enjoyed my stay the most.

Think back to all the times you have stayed at a hotel. What do you remember most about the best stay you ever had? Did you pay a king’s ransom and expect a great stay only to be underwhelmed? By contrast, is there a limited service gem in your past travels that surpassed all your expectations because the hospitality you experienced made a lasting impression? No doubt it was the staff that made the difference, not simply by making you feel special, but also by making you feel at home.

It is my singular goal to ensure that our hotels are providing an experience that you can tell your friends about. It’s not just about the amenities, the beautiful weather or the many options our properties have to offer. It’s entirely because of our people.

Our Team Members are the lifeblood of our company. Without them, who could provide such great service? If you have stayed with us before, whether just once or a hundred times, what experiences can you share?

Welcome…. Home!

LIKE THE POSTER SAYS… It’ doesn’t get any bigger than this: Brock Lesnar and Alistair Overeem will combine for 521 lbs of action-packed Mixed Martial Arts mayhem when they meet on December 30th in Las Vegas. That’s not the only reason this is a great night to watch UFC. There will be title-contenders in the two fights leading up to the main event when Jui-Jitsu practitioner Nate Diaz takes on a red hot Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone, and veteran wrestler Jon Fitch battles a well-rounded 11-1 Johnny Hendricks. Each fight promises non-stop action and you can catch it all with us at seven Station Casinos fight parties throughout the Las Vegas valley.

When It’s Time To Celebrate, Bring Out Your Best!

December 20, 2011 By Leave a Comment

 

IT’S THAT TIME of year when excitement reigns. Many of us are in a state approaching nirvana going into the holidays and the New Year.

Our deepest hope as we celebrate is to be filled with that extra sense of family and community. However, the excitement can also occasionally get overwhelming when the whole season is not put in proper perspective.

The key to conquering the holidays is to keep focused, and stop unwanted stress from creeping in. Easier said than done in the modern world, but quite attainable if you keep one very important question in mind throughout the festivities: If not now, when?

Most of us experience ups and downs throughout the year, preferably more ups than downs. The end of year holiday season is truly the appropriate time to celebrate fully. In other words, don’t hold back! Bring out your best!

If now is not the time to put out the best silverware, when might be the right time? If now is not the right time to crack the special bottle of wine you’ve been saving, when is the right time? The culmination of a year of hard work, and the end of another year of growth and bonding should not fade lightly. It is to be celebrated with vigor!

It is my sincerest hope that our Las Vegas hotel guests celebrating the holiday season with us (and at home) are filled with the spirit of the season and the luxury of proper perspective throughout. If not now, when?
