[1] In October 2002, 40 acres (16 ha) of property at the northeast corner of the Las Vegas Beltway and Aliante Parkway were set as the future site of a hotel-casino in the community.

Under the deal, Station Casinos would build and manage the resort, which would include approximately 200 hotel rooms and 2,000 slot machines.

[2][4] In September 2006, Station Casinos announced that the project's budget had increased to $600 million as the result of rising construction costs, in addition to redesigned plans for a larger resort.

Station Casinos' target clientele was a combination of the company's current customer base, the 6,500 households in the Aliante community, tourists, and visitors to the nearby Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

[6] Following a fireworks show,[7] the Aliante Station opened early, at 10:40 p.m. on November 11, 2008, due to large crowds gathered outside.

[8] A pre-opening party was held for nearly 3,000 invited guests, and included an hour-long concert performance by Sheryl Crow.

[8] Aliante Station included the largest casino in North Las Vegas at the time,[6] measuring 80,000 sq ft (7,400 m2), with 2,554 slot machines and 40 table games.

[10] The resort's 16-screen all-digital movie theater, operated by Regal Cinemas and measuring 81,000 sq ft (7,500 m2), held its grand opening on November 14, 2008, after two days of bargain previews.

[20] The resort's 3,500 sq ft (330 m2) Access Showroom, designed by Scéno Plus, also opened on November 14, with a performance by Smokey Robinson.

[26][27] ALST Casino Holdco LLC, a holding company,[28] was created to own the resort, with its largest shareholders being Apollo Global Management (20%), Standard General (28%) and TPG Capital (20%).

[37] Following the end of Station Casinos' involvement in the property, three restaurants were rebranded and reopened in January 2013: The Salted Lime, Bistro 57, and the Medley Buffet.

[37] In April 2016, Boyd Gaming announced a deal to purchase ALST Casino Holdco LLC and become the resort's new owner.
