Boulder Station
stands roughly five miles east of the Strip along Desert Inn Road, at
the point where Fremont Street passes under US-93/95 and becomes Boulder
Highway.
Though its presence is flagged by the world's largest full-color
"message board," the second casino in the Stations chain has little to
boast about.
Customers are lured in by the usual combination of cheap,
cheerful restaurants, multi-screen movie theater, and childcare
facilities (at $5-6 per hour), but the business of betting is taken very
seriously.
The
huge Race and Sports Book has a positively Dickensian atmosphere, with
rows of pencil-chewing gamblers overlooked by dark Victorian "stained
glass" as they scan the news from far-off racetracks.

Railroad motifs permeate the whole place, especially in
the Railhead lounge, where the sizeable stage plays host to nationally
known country stars plus a smattering of R&B musicians.
