It was the largest hotel-casino in North Las Vegas at the time of its opening, with a 60,000 sq ft (5,600 m2) casino and a six-story, 200-room hotel.

The expansion added a food court, a child-care facility, and a parking garage, as well as additional movie theater screens and casino space.

A $65 million expansion took place during 2000, and included the addition of a convention hall, a bowling alley, new restaurants, and two wedding chapels.

[3][5] The resort was located at 2101 Texas Star Lane,[6] near the intersection of North Rancho Drive and West Lake Mead Boulevard.

[2][7] Shareholders in Station Casinos had objected to Fertitta branching out into the gaming industry on his own, prompting the company's purchase.

[10] Fertitta had wanted the resort to appeal to customers from his home state of Texas, and he included various subtle references to Texas-Mexican history in the project's design.

The 60,000 sq ft (5,600 m2) casino included 1,600 slot machines, 35 table games, a race and sportsbook, and six bars.

[11][15][16] The resort also had the Italian restaurant San Lorenzo,[15] and the Rio Grande Buffet, which included barbecue cuisine.

Texas Station set up many fundraising events for at-risk students including a "wishing well sweep" that takes all the coins from its fountains.

The initial sweep netted $1,000 in coins and Texas Station committed to donating all future proceeds to the school to help fund a computer lab.

[26] A potential $40 million expansion was under consideration in December 1997, and was contingent on Station Casinos' success in transforming its corporate structure into a real estate investment trust.

[2] Also added was the Martini Ranch, a 24-hour southwestern-themed cocktail lounge located in the center of the casino, with seating for 70 people.

[36] Other additions included a 70,000 sq ft (6,500 m2) 60-lane bowling alley, as well as meeting and ballroom space, and a 600-space employee parking garage.

[35][37] In January 2000, Station Casinos announced that the expansion would cost $55 million, with construction expected to begin by March and conclude in early 2001.

[41] The resort's makeshift outdoor concert stage, known as South Padre, was removed to make room for the expansion.

[43] Added to the resort was the Dallas Events Center, a convention hall which also included seating for up to 1,800 people for concerts and boxing matches.

[53] In December 1999, a man was robbed and shot in the parking garage, and he subsequently sued the resort and Station Casinos for alleged inadequate security.

[56][57][58] In 2010, a woman suffered a non-life-threatening gunshot wound during an attempted armed robbery in the resort's northwest parking lot.

[59] In 2004, the Texas Station's sign on North Rancho Drive was replaced with an energy efficient version of equal size.

[63] North Las Vegas mayor John Lee held State of the City addresses at Texas Station several times during its final years.

[29] The company announced in August 2020 that the reopening of its closed properties, including Texas Station, was dependent on demand, noting that the closures may be permanent.

[79] Pat Spearman, a mayoral candidate for North Las Vegas, had suggested retrofitting Texas Station as a support facility for female veterans.

[80] City officials later considered purchasing the Texas Station and Fiesta Rancho properties for redevelopment as affordable housing.

[81] In July 2023, plans were announced by Agora Realty & Management to redevelop the two properties as a mixed-use community, known as Hylo Park.
