Texas Station Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas, Ladies Cotton Tee

Description

Originally known as Texas Station Gambling Hall & Hotel, Texas Station Hotel and Casino was a prominent locals-oriented resort in North Las Vegas, known for its bold Western theme, affordable amenities, and strong community following. Located at 2101 Texas Star Lane, just off Rancho Drive and Lake Mead Boulevard, the property opened in July 1995 as part of the growing Station Casinos portfolio, which focused on serving Las Vegas residents rather than tourists. From its debut, Texas Station distinguished itself with a lively Texas-inspired theme, incorporating rustic design elements, neon signage, and a welcoming, casual atmosphere. The property featured a large casino floor with slot machines, video poker, and table games, along with a bingo room that quickly became one of its biggest draws. Like many Station properties, it emphasized value, offering lower table limits and player-friendly promotions that appealed to regular local customers. Beyond gaming, Texas Station positioned itself as a full-service neighborhood resort. It included a hotel tower, multiple dining options ranging from casual eateries to sit-down restaurants, a bowling center, movie theater, and a popular outdoor pool complex. These amenities made it a social hub for North Las Vegas residents, hosting everything from family outings to late-night gaming sessions. Throughout the late 1990s and 2000s, Texas Station maintained a steady reputation as a dependable locals casino. While it never competed with the spectacle of the Las Vegas Strip, it didn’t need to — its strength was familiarity. Regular patrons returned for the friendly dealers, accessible gaming, and relaxed environment that defined the Station Casinos experience. In March 2020, Texas Station temporarily closed along with other Nevada casinos due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Unlike many properties that reopened later that year, Texas Station remained closed as Station Casinos evaluated long-term plans for several of its properties. In 2022, the company announced that Texas Station would not reopen and would instead be demolished, marking the end of its 27-year run. The property was demolished in 2023, clearing the site for future redevelopment. Though the building is gone, Texas Station remains an important part of Las Vegas locals history — a place where community, value, and everyday entertainment came together under one distinctly Texas-sized roof. Plans are to redevelop the site into a mixed-use project—Hylo Park—including a new hotel, retail space, arena, and fieldhouse, with construction expected to span into late 2027.
