Station Casinos Inc. is a Las Vegas, Nevada based gaming company.
The company purchased several sites that were gaming-entitled, meaning that major casinos can be built at that location without additional approvals. There are only a limited number of such sites available in the Las Vegas area.
The company has since branched out into managing casinos owned by other companies.
On February 23, 2009 Boyd Gaming Corp. has made a $950 million offer to acquire a significant portion of Station Casinos in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The offer was to purchase 14 of the 18 casinos owned and operated by Station in the Las Vegas area. Station would only retain the three older Station casinos (1) Palace, (2) Boulder and (3) Sunset and the new upscale Red Rock casino. Boyd expressed an interest in continued discussion to acquire some of the final four properties. Since Station Casinos is planning to go into a negotiated bankruptcy, Boyd is hoping that this offer will be appealing to bondholders.
