Station Casinos properties are largely geared toward local gamblers rather than tourists who might visit once or twice a year. For his longevity and contributions to the business, Manteris could be a member of a Sports Betting Hall of Fame, if one is ever established. Industry veteran Art Manteris, the company’s vice president of race and sports operations, oversees the Station Casinos sports book. Lively crowds pack the books for big games and major horse racing dates, though the pace slows during down periods on the sports calendar. The sportsbook occupies a prominent spot in virtually all Station Casinos properties and several of the books have undergone renovations in recent years to ensure their amenities remain state-of-the-art. Sportsbook relevance: 8 (on a scale of 1-10)
A perennial draw for local gamblers, Station hotels also attract tourists looking for a change of pace from the Strip. The Station Casinos empire includes top-level luxury destinations such as Red Rock Resort and Green Valley Ranch Resort, hotels for budget-minded visitors such as Texas Station and the Fiesta hotels, and several mid-range properties.
They encompass 11 full service hotel-casinos as well as sportsbook outlets at smaller ancillary casinos. Station Casinos properties are ubiquitous throughout Las Vegas.
