Texas Station: Texas Station Review

I'd like to announce a review of the Texas Station by Teddys. It was a good detailed review, although I thought Teddy was a little hard on the place. Here is how I would rank the Station casinos, from highest to lowest:

Great: Red Rock, Green Valley Ranch
Good: Texas Station, Santa Fe Station, Sunset Station
Okay: Boulder Station, Palace Station

I still have never been to the Aliante Station.

Thanks for the review Teddy. I have to agree with the Wizard that you are a bit hard on the place, but it is somewhat unremarkable there. It's a casino with no bells or whistles, when its size and name suggest that there should be. However, the review was thorough and well-constructed, and for that, you did a good job.

As far as the Wizard's ranking of Station Casinos, I would place Texas Station at the bottom of the Goods, and add Aliante Station at the top of the Goods, and possibly into the Greats. It's a REALLY nice place, and though I didn't stay there, it was a beautiful casino with a nicer layout, IMO than Red Rock or GVR.

I think North Las Vegas is perhaps best described as "not upscale" and "often hitting the headlines".
Its an area of smaller older homes and probably has a great many retirees there for whom Texas Station is their "local".

The epitome of Plain Vanilla is still Plain Vanilla. The blackjack edge is pleasing to hear about but hardly worth a trek to get there. The room charges are in line with other offerings in better locations with more variety. If I get so drunk at Terribles to head all the way up to Texas Station I'm probably drunk enough to wind up at that 6:5 table and not even realize it.

So I guess the first requirement is waking up and finding yourself in North Las Vegas. If that happens to you... head to Texas Station.

Quote Teddy, "I pointed, jeered and yelled 'shame on you.'"

I am a little more blunt and just tell people how stupid they are for playing 6:5.

As for the drunk, I would've booted him for the night, not forever.

Just for clarification, do you go to all roulette tables and tell those players how stupid they are? Or all slot players?
I look at it a different way.... If they didn't exist there would be no 'good' games in any casino.
You should thank every roulette player, every slot player, etc.....

Antiseptic is a word I would use. Characterless is another.

What about Main Street Station?

Uh, Teddys, ruminants don't take well to meat...

It's a Boyd property, not part of Stations.

Thanks, Nareed, for keeping me in line. You are correct. I don't think I will ask the Wizard to change that, though.

The Santa Fe Station review is coming soon. Much better, in my opinion.

I wouldn't tell an author what to change. I don't look like an editor, do I? :)

I always like your reviews.

Wow, teddys, your review and this thread woke my brain just a little. Since the whole thought I had relates to casino chips, I'll post it over in the Casino Chip of the Day thread.

Funny..when I was in HS, we would always have our Regional (SouthWest Pacific Region) qualifier (to Nationals; for Inline Speedskating) at Crystal Palace, which is like a block or two NORTH of Texas Station, on Rancho...so, every year we'd hit up Texas Station, lol...never stayed there though (We were poor and stayed at NON-casino hotels, hahaha)

Casino hotels are cheaper than regular hotels! If there's one thing I hope people get out of my reviews, it's that fact. Never stay at the Comfort Inn Las Vegas :)

hahah...Motel 6 was cheaper at the time, lol.

Hello I am new to the website. I would like to just add to your okay comment about Boulder Station. Boulder Station you can get a jacuzzi suite for just a little over $200 a night if you book a little in advance. This place is older but I don't think you can find a nice Jacuzzi suite any place less. I am a Chairman player at Station Casinos and I love playing here. I usually play table gambles. I think Station Casinos could create a better buffet, which I been requesting sushi rolls in the buffet (lol) Palms has it. I have been coming here for years and not much changed in the buffet. I also wanted to include that Station Casinos has Kid's Quest one of the added amenities to cater to your kids. Boulder Station is an oldie but a goodie to me. I also love the Table Games at the Texas Station, which I have found that they really cater to high rollers. They do not have a jucuzzi suite, however when I came in they pretty much got me whatever I desired. I am thinking they may not have a lot of high players here, which they did also take out the high limit area and change it into a non-smoking area. The Texas Station has the best employees out of all the Stations and I been to them all. Red Rock has the best restraunts by far. If you want good food it's worth the far out drive. Green Valley I was disappointed in because there Kids Quest unlike all the others does not except babies. I have been to all the Kids Quest in Las Vegas, however Green Valley Ranch does not accept my two year old so I won't be back there anytime soon. I would say Green Valley Ranch caters to the retired seniors.

Is that because it's to far away?

Thoughts?

The thread is 4 years old.
Chairman players pay $200 for a suite at Boulder??
Wonder how Timspeed (and his family) is doing?
