Shuttered since March 17, 2020, two Station Casinos resorts have officially applied for “non-operational status” and notified the City of North Las Vegas “there is no known re-opening date at this time.”
Beginning June 4, Texas Station and Fiesta Rancho are seeking to place their “non-restricted gaming, non-restricted gaming liquor and full liquor off-sale business licenses” on-hold for a second year, citing Nevada’s “uncertain economic conditions.” The City of North Las Vegas can approve the mothballing for a maximum of two years in a row.
Earlier this month, the Palms, the most upmarket asset in the Stations Casinos’ portfolio, was sold to The San Manuel Band of Mission Indians for $650 million in cash.

There have been two significant announcements concerning Las Vegas resorts this week and both are of interest to the resorts and tourists alike.
The first announcement is that gaming floors are returning to 100 percent capacity. Perhaps equally important, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that fully vaccinated people can resume activities without wearing a mask or physically distancing.
Let’s take a look at what both announcements mean to Las Vegas casinos.
Operating At Full Capacity
Las Vegas properties have been able to apply to the Nevada Gaming Control Board for waivers so their casinos can return to full capacity based on workforce vaccination rates. The Gaming Board has granted those waivers, and consequently, gaming floors are now able to operate at full capacity. Here’s what that means.
