[edit] Features
[edit] Strike Zone Bowling Center
Sunset Station's Strike Zone Bowling Center opened in April 2005. At the time of its opening, the 77,000 square foot, 72-lane bowling alley was the largest in Las Vegas and, at a cost of $26 million, was also the most expensive in the country.[1] In 2007, the alley hosted the PBA Tour's Motel 6 Classic.[2]
[edit] Gaudi Bar
The central feature of the 140-seat Gaudi Bar is a 6,000-square-foot (560 m²) stained glass ceiling composed of thousands of glass pieces and weighing twelve tons. The design of the Gaudi Bar is said to have been inspired by Spanish architect Antonio Gaudi.[3]
[edit] History
Sunset Station opened on June 10, 1997. While Station Casinos had successful openings with Boulder Station and Texas Station in the mid-1990s, Sunset Station was considered a demonstration of the company's ability to develop and market a locals casino that was upscale.[4] Following the success of Sunset Station, Station Casinos continued to open locals casinos that were more upscale, such as Green Valley Ranch (2001) and Red Rock Resort (2006).
[edit] Expansions
In 1999, Sunset Station underwent a $34 million dollar expansion project that included a new parking structure, increased casino floor and meeting space, and the Sonoma Cellar Restaurant.
In 2005, a multi-million dollar expansion added The Strike Zone Bowling Center as well as additional gaming space.
