Station Casinos parent company Red Rock Resorts Inc. has escalated the battle for Las Vegas locals casino dominance by acquiring the Palms for $312.5 million.
Company officials didn’t take questions after the announcement, but will discuss the deal in detail during its earnings conference call today. Reports of a sale swirled through the industry Monday, but the deal wasn’t completed until Tuesday.
