The Nevada Gaming Commission this week approved the licensing application for Aliante Station, a $675-million casino hotel that is scheduled to open for gambling next month.

 
The Nevada Gaming Control Board, an operating arm of the five-member Gaming Commission, recommended approval of the application last month for the off-strip facility.

Aliante Station is a 50-50 joint venture of Station Casinos and members of the Greenspun family, which owns the Las Vegas Sun newspaper and is the developer of the 1,905-acre Aliante planned community through the family business, Greenspun Corp.

The 40-acre Aliante Station development is near completion off the northeast corner of Interstate 215 and Aliante Parkway in North Las Vegas. The project includes 202 hotel rooms, a casino, six restaurants, and food court plus a concert venue with seating for 600, a 16-screen movie theater and 14,000 square feet for meetings and dinners.

The hotel rooms will be from 400 square feet to 1,500 square feet and will include 42-inch plasma TVs, CD players with iPod jacks and high-speed Internet. Room rates start at $60 a night. The casino will open Nov. 11 at 11 p.m. But the first day guests will be able to lodge in the hotel rooms is Jan. 1, 2009.

Aliante Station’s unveiling debut comes nearly three years after Station Casinos opened its $925-million, 68-acre Red Rock resort. Located in the Summerlin master-planned community, it was the most expensive off-Strip casino resort ever built and the largest development ever undertaken by Station Casinos.

Station Casinos owns and operates 15 resorts in Nevada. Focused on serving the residents of Las Vegas rather than the visitors, Station Casinos officially reached out for more tourists in 2001 when it opened Green Valley Ranch, a 500-room resort located near the airport in Henderson, NV.
