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. The expansion added a food court, a child-care facility, and a parking garage, as well as additional movie theater screens and casino space. Texas Station was expanded several times, including a $55 million expansion that began in 1998. It was the largest hotel-casino in North Las Vegas at the time of its opening, with a 60,000 sq ft (5,600 m 2) casino and a six-story, 200-room hotel. Fertitta sold the hotel-casino for $95 million to Station Casinos, his former company, prior to its opening on July 12, 1995. Texas native Frank Fertitta Jr., the hotel-casino's original owner, chose the Texas theme to appeal to customers from his home state. It was owned and operated by Station Casinos. Texas Station was a casino hotel in North Las Vegas, Nevada.
