Bathrooms: the one bathroom I managed to get in (down by the Summer House restaurant) had no paper towel dispensers or hand dryers.

Didn't Stations get the message this style went out with Pure Nightclub?ģ. horrible, congested (also see 5.) layout in every imaginable fashion (parking garage, food court, sports book, actually pretty much everywhere, etc.)Ģ. I would rather hang out at the Palace Station than here. Jamie Foxx standing in a fountain pushing sportsbets is a throwback.īump.this place sucks. No more Rio Rita, TI Pirates, Excalibur Merlin, not even an MGM Lion/Wizard of Oz entrance. 'The Reserve is built around an Indiana Jones-type Hollywood story line in which fictional character Congo Jack crash-lands his plane in an African setting.'Ĭome to think of it, character-themed casinos basically faded away. The Reserve was truly weirdly themed when it opened, the whole 'Congo Jack' crap was a really stupid non-gaming theme. Sunset was Gaudi-inspired,it is supposed to be Spanish. The Reserve was where we ate, and the Sunset Station, with it's psychedelic stained glass ceiling lights and decorations was where we played. The buffet was fantastic, and their Unlimited T-bone night on Wednesday's was the main reason why my wife and I became fat and clogged our arteries. I know location is king but they like to call dibs on a bunch of stuff and never really use it, it seems like.Īpropos nothing, but the thread brought back fond memories of when the Fiesta Henderson used to be The Reserve, an African Safari themed casino hotel. I only say this because they seem to own a lot of property in town with dreams of building casinos there but currently they are sitting on a few shuttered casinos already.

Maybe they will build it and then sell the property and just 'manage' it like MGM did with some of their properties?Īlso, Stations recently started objecting to some construction work down by where the Raiser's stadium is because they own a parcel of land there and the proposed construction would mess with the entrances to their potential casino there.

I also find it odd that Stations would build a new casino from scratch after closing several of their current casinos. Unless they put a poker room there, I will check it out once when I visit IKEA the next time and that's it. Pre covid I would have loved to see a Stations casino there but now that they have closed a bunch of the poker rooms and no longer do buffets, I don't really care.
