There is a lengthy article in today's RGJ reporting on Station Casino's plans to build in Reno. There's lots of generalities about Station's operations but little in the way of Reno specifics.

Probably the most telling remark is the statement that they are not going to decide anything more until at least late next year, after they complete their latest Vegas project. At that time they will then decide IF they are going to start someting in Reno or focus on another southern Nevada project.

Bottom line: don't make your room reservations just yet.

I have posted this before.

Station is not a good corporate citizen and not a good neighbor. Station is interested only in plundering whatever community it lands in. Look at the sickening ripoff Thunder Valley, which is managed by Station.

Station knowingly employs at least one executive with a history of cheating patrons. One of the executives involved in the Venetian cheating scandal was subsequently found "suitable" by Station Casinos to manage one of its Las Vegas facilities, despite Station having full knowledge of his involvement in the cheating scam. I think that tells you all you need to know about the lack of morals or ethics of this company.

Station Casinos will ruin Reno. Station blackjack is awful, especially by Reno standards. And Station is extremely cheap with comps.

I've said this before: Station builds nice facilities with good amenities, but the table games are bad. Station will bring its bad games to Reno and succeed in spite of the bad games. Then other Reno operators will think they don't have to offer decent table games in order to attract customers, and there’ll be a whole city of Harrah’s-type ripoff joints. There will no longer be a reason for visitors to come to Reno. I fear a slippery slope towards the end of decent table games in Reno if Station gets in. I am normally a big fan of competition, but not in this case. I hope that Station Casinos can somehow be kept out of Reno.
