Aliante Station

Station Casinos eschews its usual over-the-top Western neon for a more cosmopolitan style at Aliante Station, located at the far edge of Summerline in the "community" of Aliante.

The orange cabana-adorned pool offers an impressive vista of desert, mountains, and palm trees, while modern rooms house plasma screens, mini bars, stereos and, yes, even your pets. Both golf and NASCAR can be found nearby, or just stay right where you are, as the concert bookings reflect a similarly schizoid nature — Jewel this week, Chris Botti next week.
