Texas Station Casino Las Vegas

North Las Vegas resort Texas Station offers hospitality and Texas-sized entertainment options, including a 20,000 square-foot concert venue, Armadillo lounge and nightclub, 18-screen theater, 60-lane bowling center and martini bar.

Texas Station boasts the same friendly atmosphere of its sister Vegas establishments -- Boulder, Palace, Santa Fe and Sunset Stations -- but combines it with the charm, attitude and flavor of the Lone Star state.

At just more than 47 acres with a 125,000-square-foot casino, elbow room is plentiful at Texas. A wide variety of gaming -- more than 2,450 slots, 37 table games, a poker room, 500 seat bingo hall and live keno -- makes Texas Station ideal for those looking to challenge lady luck.

Several full-service restaurants -- Austins Steakhouse (winner of numerous Las Vegas best steakhouse awards), Texas Star Oyster Bar, a giant buffet and a number of other eateries -- offer great dining. Enjoy a drink and piano music at A Bar before your dinner or stop by the Martini Ranch after and have one of their metropolitan cocktails with a Western flavor.

South Padre plays host to live musical acts on Friday and Saturday nights with an intimate, yet nonexclusive cabaret air. International recording star Bertie Higgins brings his island paradise sounds to the club from 7 to 9:30 p.m., while Anthem provides a blast from the past with its '70's inspired music from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. The Dallas Events Center, meanwhile, hosts big-name entertainment.

The entire family will enjoy the 18-screen Regal Cinemas, which offers everything from Hollywood blockbusters to independent films in plush comfort and state-of-the-art dazzle, with stadium seating and THX stereo. And did we mention the 24-hour, 60-lane bowling center that features a bowling nightclub on Fridays and Saturdays?

There's a lot to do deep in the heart of Texas. You had better get moseying along, partner, or it's going to pass you by.
