Locals have voted Sunset Station “locals' favorite” for many years, and perhaps it has something to do with the slots and video poker machines, which yield the highest payout in town. This hotel, located 7 miles from the Strip, is also home to a popular concert venue that attracts world-class acts, a bowling center, and several restaurants that guests may enjoy at a discount if they inquire about promotions. Standard rooms are decorated in a slightly Spanish theme, tastefully done for a moderately priced hotel. A nice option for road-trippers that want to do the Vegas-thing away from the Strip.
