FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:  June 28, 2000

                   MISSOURI GAMING COMMISSION SETS HEARING

         ST. CHARLES, MO.  - Officials of Station Casinos, Inc. (NYSE:STN)
learned today that the Missouri Gaming Commission will hold a public fact
finding hearing on August 30, 2000 in Kansas City, Missouri.  The decision
was announced at an unrelated meeting of the Missouri Gaming Commission held
today.  At the August hearing, the Gaming Commission is expected to take
testimony relating to certain bonus payments the Company made between 1994
and 1996 to Michael Lazaroff, an outside attorney who worked on certain legal
matters for the Company in Missouri.  Since late 1999, offices of the United
States Attorney in Missouri and the Missouri Gaming Commission have been
conducting investigations regarding the actions of Lazaroff, including, among
other things, his receipt of the bonus payments from the Company.  Station
Casinos has received requests for information from these agencies and is
cooperating fully.  Lazaroff recently pled guilty to three felony counts,
including (1) defrauding his law firm by failing to disclose the bonus
payments to the law firm, (2) defrauding clients of the law firm, which
included the Company, by charging them for false expenses and (3) causing
false statements to be made to the Federal Elections Commission concerning
the identity of persons at his law firm making political campaign
contributions.  In connection with his plea agreement, Lazaroff agreed to
cooperate with the federal and state agencies, including the Missouri Gaming
Commission.  Based on the Company's own internal review, the Company is
unaware of any improprieties on its part.   However, due to the uncertainty
inherent in any investigation, the Company cannot predict the ultimate
outcome of these investigations.
