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.
