Palace Station Las Vegas August 2026

Palace Station is a mid-range, locals-focused hotel and casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, owned and operated by Station Casinos. It is the company’s oldest property.

Located at 2411 West Sahara Avenue (just west of Interstate 15, northwest of the main Strip corridor), it sits about 2 miles from the center of the Strip. The site offers easy freeway access, free parking (including EV charging and complimentary valet), and is a short drive or rideshare from the Strip, downtown, and the Las Vegas Convention Center. It is not walkable to major Strip resorts.

History and Overview
It opened on July 1, 1976, as “The Casino” (attached to a motel), expanded and became Bingo Palace in 1977, and was renamed Palace Station in 1984. A 21-story hotel tower opened in 1991. A major $192 million renovation (2016–2019) modernized the property, removed the old train theme, demolished the original motel structures, and updated rooms and public spaces. It remains popular with locals for its value, gaming odds, and promotions, while also attracting tourists seeking an affordable off-Strip alternative.

Hotel Rooms
The property has approximately 575 renovated rooms and suites in the 21-story tower (earlier motel rooms were removed). Options include:
Premier King and Premier Double Queen rooms (modern décor with clean lines, thoughtful finishes, pillow-top mattresses, flat-screen TVs, high-speed Wi-Fi, and work areas).
Suites such as Studio, Parlor, Executive (around 675 sq ft), and Grand (around 1,100 sq ft), some with city/Strip views, soaring ceilings, and living areas.

Rooms emphasize comfort and contemporary style rather than ultra-luxury. In-room dining is available (roughly 6 a.m.–11 p.m.). ADA-accessible rooms are offered.

Casino and Gaming
The casino spans roughly 84,000 sq ft (some sources note larger figures including expansions) and operates 24/7. Highlights include:
1,600+ slot machines and video poker.
50+ table games (blackjack variants, craps, roulette, baccarat, pai gow, etc.), with a notable Asian games area.
200+ seat STN Sports race and sportsbook.
Popular 356-seat bingo room (sessions daily on odd hours, typically 9 a.m.–11 p.m.).
Keno and high-limit areas.

It is known for a locals-friendly atmosphere with competitive odds and frequent promotions (via the Boarding Pass players club). Poker is no longer available.
