Fertitta family; the dominant locals-casino operator
Station Casinos (legal entity: Red Rock Resorts) is the largest operator of locals-oriented hotel-casinos in the Las Vegas Valley, with 7 major properties plus 9 small Wildfire-branded slot rooms, plus the brand-new (2025) [[pub:seventy-six-tavern|Seventy Six Tavern]] format. The company is controlled by the Fertitta family — brothers Frank III (chairman) and Lorenzo (vice-chair) — sons of founder Frank Fertitta Jr., who opened the original Casino (later [[casino:palace-station|Palace Station]]) in 1976.
The Fertittas were also the principal owners of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) from 2001 until the $4B sale to WME-IMG in 2016. See [[article:fertitta-family]] for the full family map — Frank/Lorenzo are distant cousins of [[operator:landrys|Tilman Fertitta]], not brothers.
