Nevada-based Station Casinos is looking to build a new casino in Reno, more than a decade after its original Reno plans fell through.
On Thursday, Nevada media reported that Station – which now operates under the umbrella of Red Rock Resorts – had filed an application to build a casino and entertainment facility on an eight-acre parcel of land on S. Virginia Street across from Reno’s Convention Center.
Station doesn’t yet have a construction start date but the 84k-square-foot project is expected to cost between $50m to $70m to build. Station intends to use the unrestricted gaming license it acquired from the Reno Turf Club after that project was closed by the city in 2004.
The grandfathered license means Station won’t have to build hotel rooms on the property, but Station is planning to include a bistro-style café, bowling alley, cinema, a state of the art sportsbook and sports bar, as well as the standard gaming floor options.
