StumbleStation Casinos property to be renamed after Days Inn agreement
Wild Wild West casino located just west of I-215 and Tropicana on Wednesday afternoon, Dec. 9, 2009 in Las Vegas.
Wednesday, Dec. 9, 2009 | 8:27 a.m.
Station Casinos Inc. today announced a franchise agreement to bring the Days Inn hotel brand to the Wild Wild West Gambling Hall on Tropicana Avenue west of Interstate 15 in Las Vegas.
The property will be rebranded as Days Inn - Las Vegas at Wild Wild West Gambling Hall. Room rates start at $39.99 a night, Station said.
The property has a truck stop, 260 rooms and suites; a 24-hour Denny’s restaurant; a pool area and a casino offering table games, a sports book and more than 200 slot and video poker machines.
Days Inn is a Wyndham Worldwide brand. Wyndham also markets properties in Las Vegas under the Travelodge, Super 8, Howard Johnson and Microtel brands. Wyndham is also a big timeshare operator in Las Vegas.
The former Days Inn at 707 Fremont St. in downtown Las Vegas is now a Motel 6.
Terms of today's deal weren't disclosed.
The Wild Wild West deal includes participation in the Wyndham Rewards loyalty program, which Station called the largest loyalty program in the lodging industry based on the number of participating hotels.
The hotel staff will remain Station Casinos' employees.
“Aligning with Days Inn, a well-established and respected hotel brand, provides the Wild Wild West property an amazing opportunity to draw in guests who have an affinity for staying at a Days Inn location wherever and whenever they travel,” Kevin Kelley, chief operating officer of Station Casinos, said in a statement.

so do they own the" motel 6' brand and the "w" brand
Is this there way of getting out of bankruptcy?
Must be a slow news day...
That property must be desperate.
I guess this means no Viva.
The caption to the picture is wrong. It's west of the I-15, not the I-215. Just thought you should know.

I gotta tell you your photographer is a genius. Absolute genius.

Priceless...
Most franchise operators like Holiday Inn, Best Western, and Days Inn have "quality criteria" which they impose on franchisees, in terms of newness of interior improvements like walls, carpets, draperies, bed spreads, bed linens, furniture, interior design of public spaces, etc. Franchisors also expect certain standards of cleanliness. If a franchisor discovers the franchisee is not living up to the "quality criteria", the franchisor can summarily terminate the franchise.
So that raises two questions:
(1) Where is bankruptcy Stations Casinos going to get the money to upgrade to Days Inn quality standards?
(2) Are the owners of Days Inn crazy in granting a franchise to a company in bankruptcy? Because of the bankruptcy, if Stations as franchisee doesn't live up to the quality standards, Days Inn cannot take away the franchise.
Just some thoughts. This Stations bankruptcy gets weirder and weirder. In the First Day Declaration signed by their Chief Financial Officer, describing the company's operations, the Wild West site was classified as, in effect, raw land, and any reference to Stations actually operating a casino there was well hidden.
That quality standard is true, they have to have TVs in cabinets etc, and not hung on walls, etc. this drags Days Inn down, I wonder if it's a "knight's inn?"
Yes, I would be happy to spend $39.99 per night to stay at that dump in the middle of the redlight district, rather than spend $25.00 to stay on the strip.
everyone knows that stretch of tropicana is hooker avenue.
So perhaps by aligning with Days Inn, the property will undergo some improvements. Go grab another cup of coffee haters and try to be positive for a change.
LOOK'S LIKE A "SHED"
The Wild West just changed the cafe to a Denny's.
The prior restaurant had all natural wood, and used historic, rustic 4X4's and 12X12's. It had the feel of the 1880's. They remodeled it, and painted everything yellow. That way, customers will want to eat and run. There was approximately $300,000 worth of milled rustic wood, which they ripped out to make it look more plastic. Denny's, has bought all their cafes. They also own CoCo's, at Palace station. I will be so glad when they have to sell all their properties, due to mismanagement. Greed is the coin of the realm in Las Vegas. Station mgnt. is the greediest!
