Station Casinos, a consolidated subsidiary of Red Rock Resorts, said that it will have a phased reopening program for its properties in Las Vegas, which have all been closed since 17 March 2020 due to the coronavirus outbreak.

The hotel and casino gaming company is expecting to reopen its Red Rock, Green Valley Ranch, Santa Fe Station, Sunset Station, Boulder Station, and Palace Station properties along with its Wildfire division properties when allowed to do so by governmental authorities.

Station Casinos also said that it will evaluate the performance of the first-to-reopen properties prior to reopening its Palms, Texas Station, Fiesta Rancho, and Fiesta Henderson properties.

The casino company in Las Vegas will also carry out staffing reductions at all ten of its large properties and at its corporate office.  The reductions will impact nearly 39% of its full-time workforce.

Richard J. Haskins – President of Station Casinos said: “This has been the most painful and challenging situation in our Company’s history.

“We are hopeful though that Las Vegas will rebound swiftly and allow us to rehire as many of our valued team members as possible when we emerge on the other side of this crisis.”
