Santa Fe Station is located in northwest Las Vegas, about 12 miles from the Las Vegas Strip, and about 10 miles from Red Rock. A locals casino that recently underwent a major expansion and remodeling, it caters to locals and tourists valuing a nice expansive property with clean and comfortable hotel rooms, and a sizeable family friendly casino (replete with movie theatre, bowling alley, Kids Quest Hourly Child care, and a fast food court). The Santa Fe Station poker room is easily one of the nicest card rooms within the Stations Casino group, having undergone a complete relocation into a new wing of the casino about a year ago. Encompassing 14 tables, all with thick arm rests, autoshufflers, and the Genesis Bravo tableside units, the Santa Fe poker room is significantly nicer and more technologically advanced than most Strip card rooms. Being a locals' casino, Santa Fe offers many perks and creature comforts that Strip rooms would normally not bother with: Coffee and water station in room, comfortable couch and chairs with newspapers and magazines for waiting players and even the ability to page specific names over the casino PA system to alert waiting players to their open seats. Also, players are able to call in and place their names on the list for up to one hour ahead of time. These little perks are why many players vie toward local casinos versus their larger Strip counterparts, as the room tends to focus itself on daily regulars that play extended hours, every day.

The room is located quite perfectly within the property, with ample self parking, restrooms, and the Race and Sports book all located very close to the room. The physical layout of the room is also a selling point. All tables are nicely spread apart from one another, with ample space between all tables, and the two entrances to the room are easily accessible from both the north and south side of the room.

The overall comfort of the room is yet another selling point. When the room was relocated and remodeled to its new location, all new chairs were brought in, with adjustable height swivel bases, on wheels, with adjustable back support (adjustable back support is very rare with even the best rooms not offering adjustable backs). The tables all have new tight felt, lack wooden racetracks, and the thick armrests have cup holders installed. The customer lounge is located in the northwest corner of the room, and is in plain view of both the waiting lists and sports programming.

The aesthetics of the room are sleek, modern, and comforting, though a bit dark. The color palate is that of dark high gloss wooden veneers complimented with chrome silver fixtures and light sconces. The chairs and carpeting are a mixture of dark brown and taupe, which coincides with the entire new wing of the property. The brush desk is large and is set up at the main entrance to the room, which is admittedly far from the customer waiting lounge, but gets the job done. There is a self service kiosk for players that want to sign up for games themselves using their Stations Boarding Pass Players’ Cards, but since it is only a couple feet from the brush desk, many just approach the brush to sign up instead (especially since many names on the list are often call ins, so a seat availability is often questionable).

When it comes to technology, Santa Fe is one of the top rooms in the city. Stations casinos have demonstrated their serious dedication to the loyalty of poker players by adding nearly all modern poker management technology to the room. Autoshufflers and Genesis Bravo tableside units have been installed in all tables, and the brush desk has the ability to page players over the casino loudspeaker. These three things in conjunction with each other are things that even the world class rooms cannot compete with, and gives locals casinos a significant advantage when it comes to breeding loyalty.

Overall, the Santa Fe Station poker room is one of the nicest in the city with regards to overall room quality. Comfortable aesthetics coupled with a nice and comfortable layout and location make Santa Fe Station a truly underrated shining star within the Stations Casino Empire, and worthy of checking out if you find yourself in the Northwest part of the Las Vegas valley.
