Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block]	Organization Station Casinos LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (the "Company" or "Station"), is a gaming, development and management company that owns and operates nine major gaming and entertainment facilities and ten smaller casinos (three of which are 50% owned) in the Las Vegas regional market. The Company also manages a casino in Sonoma County, California and a casino in southwestern Michigan, both on behalf of Native American tribes. Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods have been made. The interim results reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2014. Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Significant estimates incorporated into the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements include the estimated useful lives for depreciable and amortizable assets, the estimated cash flows and other factors used in assessing the recoverability of goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets, the estimated reserve for self-insured insurance claims, the estimated costs associated with the Company's player rewards program and the estimated liabilities related to litigation, claims and assessments. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Principles of Consolidation The amounts shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries and MPM Enterprises, LLC ("MPM"), which is a 50% owned, consolidated variable interest entity ("VIE") that manages Gun Lake Casino. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company consolidates MPM because it directs the activities of MPM that most significantly impact MPM's economic performance and has the right to receive benefits and the obligation to absorb losses that are significant to MPM. The assets of MPM reflected in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 included intangible assets of $24.3 million and $31.9 million, respectively, and receivables of $3.0 million and $3.2 million, respectively. MPM's assets may be used only to settle MPM's obligations, and MPM's beneficial interest holders have no recourse to the general credit of the Company. The Company has various other investments in 50% owned joint ventures which are accounted for using the equity method, including three 50% owned smaller casino properties. In April 2015, the Company sold its 50% investment in a joint venture which owned undeveloped land in North Las Vegas. Equity method investments at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 also included $6.9 million and $8.8 million, respectively, of investments in certain restaurants at the Company's properties which are considered to be VIEs, of which Station is not the primary beneficiary. Third party holdings of equity interests in the Company's consolidated subsidiaries are referred to herein as noncontrolling interests. The portion of net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests is presented separately in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, and the portion of members' equity attributable to noncontrolling interests is presented separately on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. IPO and Purchase of Fertitta Entertainment On October 13, 2015, Station Casinos Corp., a Delaware corporation and newly formed affiliate of the Company ("Station Corp."), filed a registration statement on Form S-1 to register shares of common stock to be offered in an initial public offering (the "IPO"). Upon closing of the IPO and the associated reorganization transactions (the "Transactions"), Station Corp. will become the sole managing member of Station Holdco LLC ("Station Holdco") and will hold a portion of the outstanding LLC units of Station Holdco. Station Holdco currently owns non-voting interests in the Company that represent all of the economic interests of the Company. Also on October 13, 2015, the Company entered into a membership interest purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with respect to the acquisition of all of the outstanding membership interests of Fertitta Entertainment LLC, a Delaware limited liability company which is controlled by affiliates of Frank J. Fertitta III, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and a member of its Board of Managers, and Lorenzo J. Fertitta, a member of the Company's Board of Managers(“Fertitta Entertainment”) (the “Fertitta Entertainment Acquisition”). All of the Company’s gaming and non-gaming facilities in the Las Vegas regional market are currently managed by subsidiaries of Fertitta Entertainment pursuant to management agreements entered into on June 17, 2011 (the “FE Management Agreements”). The purchase price of the Fertitta Entertainment Acquisition is $460 million in cash, less amounts paid by the Company in satisfaction of indebtedness of Fertitta Entertainment on the closing date, and subject to reduction based on the amount, if any, of Fertitta Entertainment’s liabilities assumed by the Company. The terms of the Fertitta Entertainment Acquisition were negotiated on behalf of the Company and approved by a special committee of the Company’s Board of Managers with the assistance and counsel of independent legal and financial advisors retained by such special committee. The purchase price for the Fertitta Entertainment Acquisition is expected to be funded by a portion of the proceeds from the IPO and the balance of the purchase price is expected to be funded by incurring additional debt. Both the Company and the sellers have agreed, following the closing, to indemnify each other for losses arising from certain breaches of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement and for certain other liabilities, subject to certain limitations. The consummation of the Fertitta Entertainment Acquisition, which has been unanimously approved by the Company’s Board of Managers, is subject to certain closing conditions, including, among other things, (i) the expiration or termination of the waiting period (and any extensions thereof) applicable under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, (ii) the approval of various gaming authorities, and (iii) the closing of the IPO. The Fertitta Entertainment Acquisition is expected to be consummated concurrently with the closing of the IPO, but there can be no assurance that the IPO or the Fertitta Entertainment Acquisition will be consummated or as to the date by which the IPO or the Fertitta Entertainment Acquisition will be consummated. Following the consummation of the Fertitta Entertainment Acquisition, Fertitta Entertainment and its subsidiaries will be wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. The Company expects to enter into employment agreements with the executive officers and other individuals who were employed by Fertitta Entertainment, with such agreements becoming effective upon the consummation of the Fertitta Entertainment Acquisition. The Company and Fertitta Entertainment are controlled by brothers Frank J. Fertitta III and Lorenzo J. Fertitta, who collectively hold a majority of the voting and economic interests of both entities. The Fertitta Entertainment Acquisition constitutes an acquisition of an entity under common control which will be accounted for at historical cost in a manner similar to a pooling of interests. The excess of the purchase price over the historical cost of the net assets acquired will be treated as a deemed distribution for accounting purposes. Discontinued Operations During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company's majority-owned consolidated subsidiary, Fertitta Interactive LLC ("Fertitta Interactive"), ceased operations. The results of operations of Fertitta Interactive are reported in discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented, and the assets and liabilities of Fertitta Interactive are reported separately in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have not been adjusted for discontinued operations. See Note 2 for additional information about Fertitta Interactive. Assets Held for Sale The Company classifies assets as held for sale when an asset or asset group meets all of the held for sale criteria in the accounting guidance for impairment and disposal of long-lived assets. Assets held for sale are initially measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. At September 30, 2015, assets held for sale primarily represented undeveloped land in Las Vegas and Reno that is expected to be sold within one year. Income Taxes The Company is a limited liability company treated as a partnership for income tax purposes and as such, is a pass-through entity which is not liable for income tax in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the Company has no liability associated with uncertain tax positions. Significant Accounting Policies A description of the Company's significant accounting policies is included in Item 8 of its Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2014. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a new accounting standard for revenue recognition which requires entities to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard supersedes the existing accounting guidance for revenue recognition, including industry-specific guidance, and amends certain accounting guidance for recognition of gains and losses on the transfer of non-financial assets. For public companies, the new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 (including interim periods within those periods). Upon adoption, financial statement issuers may elect to apply the new standard either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented, or using a modified retrospective approach by recognizing the cumulative effect of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures. The Company will adopt this guidance in the first quarter of 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its financial position and results of operations, and has not yet determined which adoption method it will elect. In April 2015, the FASB issued amended accounting guidance that changes the balance sheet presentation of debt issuance costs. Under the amended guidance, debt issuance costs will be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. For public companies, the new guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 (including interim periods within those fiscal years), and is required to be applied on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects to early adopt this guidance as of December 31, 2015. Upon adoption, approximately $18 million in debt issuance costs which are currently included in other assets will be reclassified as a direct deduction from the related debt liabilities. The adoption will have no effect on the Company's results of operations. A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting guidance is currently under study by standard-setting organizations and certain regulatory agencies. Due to the tentative and preliminary nature of such proposed accounting guidance, the Company has not yet determined the effect, if any, that the implementation of such proposed accounting guidance will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
