Texas Station opened on July 12, 1995, in North Las Vegas, near Lake Mead Boulevard and Rancho Drive. Originally Texas Gambling Hall & Hotel, it joined Station Casinos’ expansion into the Valley’s growing residential communities. Its Texas-themed frontage belonged to a casino hotel built for local outings as well as overnight stays. The casino shut in March 2020 and never reopened.
A difficult start and a new name
Station’s own 1997 annual report acknowledged a difficult first eighteen months and described physical and operational changes at the property. It also recorded the change from Texas Gambling Hall & Hotel to Texas Station as a way to strengthen the association with the company’s other casinos. That was a rename of the same property, not a move or a replacement casino.
More than a casino floor
The resort grew beyond its early configuration. The 1997 report described a hotel, restaurants and a twelve-screen theater. The company’s filing for 2016 described an eighteen-screen theater, a sixty-lane bowling center, entertainment and event spaces, and meeting facilities. Together, those dated accounts show the broader range of activities available before its closure without assigning every addition an unsupported opening date.
A different use during the shutdown
After the casino stopped operating, part of the property took on another public role. In June 2020 the Southern Nevada Health District advertised drive-through COVID-19 testing in Texas Station’s parking garage at 2101 Texas Star Lane, supported by the city and Station Casinos. The closed resort became a place where residents came for a public-health service rather than gambling or entertainment.
Permanent closure and demolition
Red Rock Resorts’ June 2022 filing separated the original pandemic shutdown from a later decision: Texas Station, Fiesta Rancho and Fiesta Henderson would close permanently, with demolition intended to prepare their land for sale. By November 2023, developer Agora described the Texas Station and Fiesta Rancho sites as demolished and confirmed its land purchase. The two neighboring casinos remained distinct historic properties, even as their land entered one redevelopment project.
What came after Texas Station
Hylo Park is the next chapter of the land, rather than a new name for the old casino. In August 2026 Agora reported completed construction of Hylo Park South’s shopping center on part of the former Texas Station site. Its September account described further sports, hotel and retail plans for Hylo Park North. Those later phases should not be mistaken for completed attractions. The main illustration evokes the former entrance; the historical photograph preserves its appearance in December 2010; the approximate map point identifies the former casino vicinity.
