About the Casino

Let’s be honest: when this place was known simply as Santa Fe, it was a dump. There, I said it. But awhile back local giants Station Casinos bought the place and redid it from top to bottom, expanded it, and made it a beautiful, lively, inexpensive alternative to stay and play.

The casino and the public areas got the facelift several years ago but it’s aging gracefully. It has a more upscale feeling than Santa Fe of old, mimicking on many levels

The casino is a large, rambling affair with plenty of gaming options in a nice room that is similar in look and feel to sister property Green Valley Ranch. Stonework, plants, iron fixtures, and lots of indirect lighting have added an intimate air to a space that used to be a riot of southwest kitsch. Historically, neighborhood casinos like this one tend to pay out better than those on The Strip and you may use your Station Casinos Boarding Pass, the players club that will reward you with comps and cash at all of the hotels in the corporate family. Adjacent is the sports book with plenty of seating and individual station monitors if the giant wall-mounted screens aren’t doing it for you.

They also have bingo, keno, and a poker room offering a variety of “Hold ’em” style games at much lower limits than what you’ll find on The Strip. This may be a good place to come if you feel too intimidated by the money or the people at the bigger rooms.

If you need something else to do other than gamble, they have you covered there as well. They have a showroom/nightclub with frequent live entertainment, a video game arcade, a Kids’ Quest day care center, a 16-screen movie theater, restaurants, and a state-of-the-art 60-lane bowling alley.
