Texas Station, Casino and hotel in North Las Vegas, United States.
Texas Station was a casino hotel at 2101 Texas Star Lane in North Las Vegas, designed by Marnell Corrao Associates and built for $62.8 million. Its exterior followed an 1890s Texas government architectural style, with a light beige stone facade, a triangular pediment holding a round window, and a red "TEXAS" sign arched over a star above "STATION" on a red banner. Inside, the design replicated the San Antonio River Walk. The six-story hotel had 200 rooms, and the casino covered 60,000 sq ft with 1,600 slot machines and 35 table games.
Texas Station opened in 1995 as one of North Las Vegas's major gaming venues and served the community for over two decades. The property closed in 2020, marking the end of an important chapter in the area's development.
Frank Fertitta Jr., a Texas native, named and themed the resort for customers from his home state. The exterior copied an 1890s Texas government style, while the interior recreated the San Antonio River Walk. Restaurants carried the theme too: Laredo Cantina, Stockyard Steak & Seafood House, Galveston Bay Seafood Co. and the 24-hour Yellow Rose Café.
The former casino and hotel complex sits at the intersection of North Rancho Drive and West Lake Mead Boulevard, easily accessible from main roads in the area. The location's proximity to major thoroughfares makes it simple to find and reach.
Frank Fertitta Jr. kept ownership of the 47-acre site, having bought the land in June 1994, and sold the resort itself to Station Casinos for $95 million before it opened. In 1996 Texas Station adopted C.P. Squires Elementary, one of Clark County's oldest schools, and a "wishing well sweep" of its fountains raised $1,000 for a computer lab.
