For gamblers at their casinos, they listened to everything that would make visits more regular and comfortable. They analyzed the situation and realized the gamblers wanted to be appreciated – not just those with big money on the blackjack tables, but also the nickel slot players who played daily.
They introduced a players club and rewards program that soon everyone in town followed after seeing the success and rise Station was having. Revenues soared and the brothers re-invested in the company by building more casinos.

They brought in longtime friend and Bishop Gorman high school buddy Dana White to run the UFC because of his energy and no nonsense attitude. The trio created a market when there was none.
