Prior to its opening, Station Casinos expected some economic difficulty for Aliante Station due to the Great Recession. The property had received 1,000 employee applications each week from mid-July through early October 2008.

Groundbreaking took place on February 22, 2007. Rising construction costs accounted for approximately $30 million of the increased budget. 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. Construction was expected to begin in late 2006 or early 2007, with an opening in mid-2008. Construction would cost between $400 million and $450 million, with joint financing from both companies. Under the deal, Station Casinos would build and manage the resort, which would include approximately 200 hotel rooms and 2,000 slot machines. Īliante Station was announced on December 20, 2005, as a joint project between Station Casinos and The Greenspun Corporation, which had previously partnered in developing the Green Valley Ranch hotel-casino. The land was owned by The Greenspun Corporation through its American Nevada Company, which was co-developing the Aliante community.

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. Mike Montandon, mayor of North Las Vegas, Nevada, was initially against the inclusion of a casino in the planned community of Aliante during its early planning stages in 2002, although he was ultimately convinced by the community's developers that it would be a good idea. Boyd Gaming purchased the hotel-casino in 2016, at a cost of $380 million. Parts of the resort were then rebranded and refurbished, at a cost of $2.8 million. Profits subsequently improved, and Station Casinos continued managing the property until November 2012, when it was renamed Aliante Casino and Hotel. Station Casinos filed for bankruptcy the following year, and the resort's ownership was transferred to a holding company. Construction began in February 2007, and the resort was built at a cost of $662 million.Īfter opening in November 2008, the resort operated at a financial loss. The resort was announced as the Aliante Station in December 2005, as a joint project between Station Casinos and The Greenspun Corporation, with an initial cost of $400 million to $450 million.
