The only thing that stands in the way of Station Casinos to build another casino resort is Senate Bill 208, notoriously known as SB208.  The gaming site developer has already acquired over fifty acres of land in a six parcel packages from Unlimited Holding in Las Vegas.  The land is located at the northeast corner Of Losee Rd. and Las Vegas Beltway, which may prove as a hindrance in trying to build a casino.

Although the land is very undeveloped, SB208 requires all casinos to be a minimum distance from churches, schools and neighborhoods.  In other words, it is a prevention measure against casinos from the Strip bleeding into local neighborhoods.  Station Casinos realizes the issue at hand, for they were denied from building a casino at the Craig Ranch Golf Course - and it wasn't just a bill that stopped them, for there are plenty of loopholes for a smart developer to get around the bill.  On the contrary, it was local residents who organized themselves in great numbers and rallied to show enough dissent against a casino at the golf course that influenced a state review panel to deny the casino.

Station is playing it safe this time around, for the land purchase gives them much more leverage if another battle is waged.  A company spokesperson commented that the company does plan to build a casino resort on the land, but that the project could take several years just in the planning.  There is no telling when and if construction will begin.  The first task at hand is to insure a new casino resort would not be in violation of SB208 and the closest neighborhood residents.
