When Red Rock Resorts’ Station Casinos Inc. observes its 50th anniversary this summer, it’ll celebrate by investing in several of its Las Vegas properties.
Frank Fertitta Jr. opened a small off-Strip place called The Casino in 1976. A few years later, it was renamed Bingo Palace with a new bingo room, a buffet and one of the city’s first race and sportsbooks.
It was Nov. 22, 1983, when the Bingo Palace transitioned to Palace Station, the first of several Station Casinos properties now run by Fertitta’s sons, Frank Fertitta III and Lorenzo Fertitta.
Over the years, the Red Rock empire has grown to 18 properties in the Las Vegas Valley, including luxury operations Red Rock Resort, Green Valley Ranch and Durango.
