Texas Station is located on Rancho Boulevard & Lake Mead in North Las Vegas. Texas Station is okay, but I can't find any compelling reason to stay there other than you have friends or relatives in the area, or you enjoy visiting obscure casino-hotels. You have to drive through some pretty dicey neighborhoods to get there, but the immediate vicinity of hotel is not bad. Be aware, however, of the $12.99+tax resort fee tacked onto every room night, which makes the true room rate significatnly higher. Texas Station often has the lowest room rates on discounter websites like Expedia and Travelocity. Right across the street from Texas Station is Fiesta Rancho - also a Stations property, but more downscale with cheaper buffet prices. Some may disagree, but I would rank it as the second lowest Stations property slightly above or on par with Palace Station, and lower than Boulder, which has renovated rooms and nicer decor. In the Station Casinos pantheon, Texas Station Gambling Hall & Hotel (its proper name) is positioned towards the bottom. It is hard to find anything terrible or spectacular about it. There are no comments about it on the Wizard of Vegas forum, and it's not bandied about as a casino destination. Texas Station is quite possibly the most unremarkable casino in Las Vegas. Welcome to the plain vanilla of Las Vegas locals' casinos.
