Exhibit 99.1


           Station Casinos' Stockholders Approve Company's Proposals;
                       Union's Non-Binding Proposal Fails


     LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 24, 2006--Station Casinos, Inc. (NYSE:STN)
("Station" or the "Company") today announced the results of the matters voted on
at its 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting"), which was
held today at Red Rock Casino Resort Spa in Las Vegas, Nevada.
     At the Annual Meeting, the Company's stockholders re-elected two directors,
Lowell H. Lebermann, Jr. and Robert E. Lewis, both of whom are independent
members of the Board, each to serve a term of three years. The Company's
stockholders also ratified the appointment of the Company's independent
auditors, Ernst & Young LLP, for 2006.
     For the second year in a row, the Company's stockholders also voted down a
non-binding proposal submitted by UNITE HERE, an affiliate of the Culinary
Workers' Union Local 226 (the "Union") and the holder of 262 shares of the
Company's common stock, which recommended changes to the Company's shareholder
rights plan. The Union has been engaged in a long-running campaign to unionize
the Company's workforce. This proposal was unanimously opposed by the Company's
Board of Directors.
     Wells Fargo Shareowner Services, the independent inspector of elections for
the Annual Meeting, has certified the voting results. A copy of the Certificate
of Report of Inspector of Elections (the "Certified Report") is attached as an
Exhibit to the Company's Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. In order for the Union's non-binding proposal to be
considered approved by the stockholders, the proposal would have needed the
affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present at the meeting in person or
represented by proxy. According to the Certified Report, the Union's proposal
received less than 45% affirmative votes at the Annual Meeting.
     "We certainly appreciate the support we received from our stockholders on
all of the matters presented at the Annual Meeting and look forward to
continuing to create value for all of our stockholders," said Frank J. Fertitta
III.
