That's why it seems so remote - you have to drive on a highway through empty desert for 5 miles or so before getting to this luxurious resort. The economic downturn in late 2008 has left the Aliante somewhat isolated for now, as all homebuilding in the area has stopped. It is the furthest north of any major casino in the Las Vegas area, clearly aimed at being the first casino in the growing suburbs of North Las Vegas. None of them are located on the Las Vegas Strip, though one is only a few blocks away, and one is on the burgeoning Boulder Strip.Īliante Station is the newest Station Casino, having opened in late 2008. The Station Casinos chain is a chain of ten major casinos in Las Vegas, scattered throughout the city, all of which are targeted to 'locals': people who live within about 200 miles of the casino or those who drive in for a vacation.
