History

Sunset Station opened on June 10, 1997. While Station Casinos had successful openings with Boulder Station and Texas Station in the mid-1990s, Sunset Station was considered a demonstration of the company's ability to develop and market a locals casino that was upscale. Following the success of Sunset Station, Station Casinos continued to open locals casinos that were more upscale, such as Green Valley Ranch and Red Rock Resort.
On June 14, 2019, employees voted in favor to unionize the property by 83% as these vote margins are no longer disclosed to the public. It was organized by the Bartenders Union and the Culinary Workers Union and supervised by the National Labor Relations Board under the Trump administration. It is the sixth Station Casinos property to be unionized.

Expansions

In 1999, Sunset Station underwent a $34 million expansion project that included a new parking structure, increased casino floor and meeting space and the Sonoma Cellar Restaurant.
In 2005, a multimillion-dollar expansion added The Strike Zone Bowling Center as well as additional gaming space.
