Palace Station Hotel Las Vegas

Palace Station Hotel Las Vegas led the way for other Station Casinos. Riding in its success, came the "Santa Fe Station," the Boulder Station, "Texas Station" and "Sunset Station" casinos. With their promotions and points that transfer from one casino to the next, no wonder locals call Station Casinos their favorite.

Insider Secret - Pedestrians do not have the right of way here like they do in California. So be careful crossing the street against the red 'do not walk' signs. And definitely do not jaywalk. If you get hit jaywalking, neither you nor your family will be compensated.

Slots are hot at the Palace Station Hotel Las Vegas. Join the Player's Club and win free slot plays at 7 Station Casinos including Red Rock and Green Valley Ranch. Keep a watch for 10x, 20x, even 100x points, when your player's card becomes really valuable.

Palace Station has a restaurant inside called the Broiler that serves one of the best seafood dishes in Vegas. I have had the broiled halibut with ponchartrain sauce plus free gourmet all you can eat salad bar so many times I will never forget it. I compare every other fish meal I ever order to this one. It is a nice romantic dinner in a quiet romantic restaurant. They also have a huge selection of live lobster.

Palace Station has a huge Bingo room for those so inclined, no live poker to speak of, but great Asian focused speciatly games. The slots pay out better than the strip casinos because this casino is heavily trafficked by locals. So you will see some colorful charatcers. This makes it fun late at night. This Palace Station at night picture captures the cool din of an early Vegas evening, blues and greys sit up and talk as the sun goes down.

Palace Station is one of the first of the Station Casino empires successes. Now they are part of a huge impressive family of off strip casinos serving locals first with real value. Green Valley Ranch Resort, Boulder Station, Red Rock Resort, oversized Sunset Station, Texas Station, Fiesta, and Santa Fe Station plus more in the works make this a sizeable force in the casino industry. For you it means you can play at ANY of these and your players club points COMBINE together so you can use them in bulk at any of the casinos.

Non-smoking rooms are part of the Courtyard wing, a 2-story building overlooking the pool. Rooms are updated and offer Internet and wireless access for a fee, hair dryer, iron and ironing board - do people still iron clothes?. Tower Rooms are much bigger and offer panoramic views of Vegas plus they actually have coffee makers (hard to find in Vegas hotels). The suites are on the 21st floor and have even better Strip and downtown views. use this page for the best deals and enjoy your stay at Palace Station

Cabo's Mexican Restaurant has fresh Tex-Mex, Southwestern and Mexican dishes. The Pasta Palace is famous for its all-you-can-eat pasta below $10. And The Broiler has delicious fish, salad bar, lamb, chicken and beef. The Broiler has that old San Francisco Barbary Coast atmosphere and décor I like so much. It reminds me of one of my favorite movies, 'San Francisco' with Clark Gable and Spencer Tracy. Be sure to stop by the Feast Gourmet Buffet, prices are quite reasonable and they're open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
