In 2016, Station came back with a new proposal, a leaner project intended for the corner of South Virginia Street and Kietzke Lane. For Station, it was time to apply the brakes, with executive vice president Scott Nielson stating then that “the project that was previously planned there is not feasible economically”. Gaming and tourism suffered significant damage. Recalling the state’s halcyon days before economic crisis, former Nevada Congresswoman Shelley Berkley said “Business was booming the real estate market was hot as a pistol.” The real estate market was hot as a pistol”īefore Station’s dreams could become reality, the 2008 recession hit. The Reno City Council approved the proposal in 2006 and Station made several land purchases, including the large 88.8-acre property in south Reno.

Plans included gaming, retail projects, underground parking, and three 225 foot-high hotel towers, containing 900 rooms. In 2005, the gaming company proposed an ambitious $500m development near the Reno-Sparks Convention Center. Time and again, Station attempted to enter the Reno market, only for a combination of local resistance and economic downturns to knock it back. Station’s recent decision to sell both properties has a backstory with all the twists and turns of a Shakespearean tragedy.
