Fiesta Rancho, Casino in North Las Vegas, United States

Fiesta Rancho was a hotel-casino in North Las Vegas featuring 100 guest rooms and a large gaming floor with slot machines and table games. The property also included an outdoor swimming pool and offered full hospitality services for visitors staying at the location.

The Maloof family opened this gaming establishment in December 1994 as the first hotel-casino in North Las Vegas, bringing commercial gaming to the area. Station Casinos purchased the property in 2001 and continued operating it for the following years.

The casino called itself "the Royal Flush Capital of the World" after its video poker machines paid out more than 118,500 royal flushes. Most of its slots played video poker, and the Garduño's Mexican restaurant, the chain's first outside New Mexico, drew waits of up to four hours.

The property sits at 2400 North Rancho Drive, at the northeast corner of West Lake Mead Boulevard, across from Texas Station. It was the first hotel-casino in North Las Vegas, so approach by car is straightforward. The casino floor, restaurants and parking garage are all on site.

The Fiesta's sportsbook, Sports on the Run, opened in September 1995 and cost over $500,000; it used pneumatic tubes so drivers could place bets without leaving their cars, and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch called it probably the only drive-through sportsbook in the world.
