Station Casinos Reaches Agreement with Opco Bank Steering Committee

to Support Comprehensive Reorganization

Plan Includes $772 Million Fertitta-Led

“Stalking Horse” Bid for Opco Assets

Station Casinos Expected to Emerge from Bankruptcy by Year End

LAS VEGAS — April 19, 2010 — Station Casinos, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries that are debtors and debtors in possession (collectively, the “Debtors”) in the Chapter 11 cases pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court announced that an agreement (the “Opco Plan Support Agreement”) has been reached between Fertitta Gaming LLC (“Fertitta Gaming”), which is owned by Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta, and the steering committee representing over 60% of the Company’s senior secured bank debt (the “Opco Lenders”) to support the Debtors’ joint plan of reorganization, which is to be modified pursuant to the terms of the Opco Plan Support Agreement (as so modified, the “Joint Plan”).  The Joint Plan now has the support of holders of almost 90% of the Debtors’ combined secured debt.

Pursuant to the Opco Plan Support Agreement, the Opco Lenders have agreed to support the $772 million “stalking horse” bid by a newly-formed company (“Newco”) to be owned by Fertitta Gaming, Colony Capital and the mortgage lenders to FCP Propco, LLC (“Propco” and the “Propco Lenders,” respectively), to purchase substantially all of the assets of the Company, which include Santa Fe Station, Texas Station, Fiesta Henderson, Fiesta Rancho and Native American gaming projects (the “Opco Properties”).  Newco’s purchase of the Opco Properties is subject to the Company conducting a sale process for such assets under the supervision of the Bankruptcy Court.  The Newco bid for the Opco Properties will entail significant new investment in Newco by the Fertittas and would result in a substantial cash recovery to the Opco Lenders.  If Newco is the successful bidder, Fertitta Gaming will manage the Opco Properties under a long-term management agreement.

Also pursuant to the Opco Plan Support Agreement, the parties have agreed to support the Joint Plan as it relates to the restructuring of Propco, which includes the acquisition of Red Rock Casino Resort Spa, Palace Station, Boulder Station, and Sunset Station (the “Propco Properties”) by Newco.  As previously announced, the Propco Lenders have agreed to sell 46% of the equity in Newco to Fertitta Gaming, which will be making a new investment in Newco.  The remaining equity in Newco will be owned primarily by the Propco Lenders and Colony Capital, which will also be making a new investment in the company.  Fertitta Gaming will also manage the Propco Properties under a long-term management agreement.  The restructuring of Propco under the Joint Plan is not conditioned upon Newco ultimately becoming the successful bidder for the Opco Properties.

“We are pleased to have reached agreement with the steering committee of the Opco senior lenders on the acceptance of our stalking-horse bid and our plan of

reorganization.  This agreement is another important step toward maximizing the value of all of the Station Casinos’ properties for the benefit of our team members, guests, lenders and the Las Vegas community,” said Frank Fertitta III, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Station Casinos.

The Company said that it anticipates that the Opco sales process will be completed and the plan will be confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court later this summer and, subject to regulatory approvals, for Station Casinos and the other Debtors to emerge from bankruptcy before the end of the year.

Lazard is acting as exclusive financial advisor to the Debtors in connection with the reorganization and Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP serves as lead counsel to the Debtors.

The plan and the disclosure statement have not yet been approved by the Bankruptcy Court and are subject to further negotiations with stakeholders.  As a result, the plan and the disclosure statement may be materially modified before approval.  In addition to customary Chapter 11 proceedings, the completion of the transaction is subject to Hart-Scott-Rodino and other antitrust reviews and customary closing conditions.

This press release is not intended to be, and should not in any way be construed as, a solicitation of votes on the Company’s reorganization plan which was filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.  The plan was filed together with a proposed disclosure statement which should not be relied on for any purpose until a determination by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court is made that the proposed disclosure statement contains adequate information, as required by the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.  Following Bankruptcy Court approval of the disclosure statement and related voting solicitation procedures, the Company will solicit acceptances of the plan and seek its confirmation by the Bankruptcy Court.  There can be no assurance that such plan acceptances or confirmation will be obtained.
