About Palace Station
In Las Vegas, Nevada, Palace Station operates as a hotel and casino and is the oldest property of Station Casinos. It has a casino of 7,800 m² (84,000 sq ft) and a 21-story hotel tower with 575 rooms. The property began as The Casino, which opened on July 1, 1976, as a gambling hall of 460 m² (5,000 sq ft) connected to the Mini Price Motor Inn. Its site was off the Strip, beside Interstate 15, a location where few observers expected success.
The gambling hall was soon expanded and renamed Bingo Palace, with a grand opening on June 30, 1977. It was the first casino in the Las Vegas Valley to aim at local residents, with giveaways, cheap buffets and bingo. Frank Fertitta Jr. bought out his partners in 1979. A naming contest drew about 26,000 entries, and the winner, Palace Station, came from a keno runner. It kept "Palace" and fit the new train station theme. The new name took effect on January 1, 1984.
In 1985, Fertitta bought the adjoining 465-room motel and made it part of Palace Station. A $60 million expansion that began five years later added new casino space, a parking garage and the 21-story hotel tower. A $192 million renovation then ran from November 2016 to March 2019, the first major renovation since 1991 at the property. It replaced the train theme with a modern design, and the 126-foot Palace Station sign came down during 2018.
