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 hotel/casino properties and ten smaller casino properties (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 Allegan County, Michigan, both on behalf of Native American tribes. Acquisition of Fertitta Entertainment In May 2016, the Company acquired all of the outstanding membership interests of Fertitta Entertainment LLC ("Fertitta Entertainment" and such transaction, the "Fertitta Entertainment Acquisition") for $460.0 million, which included $51.0 million paid in satisfaction of Fertitta Entertainment’s term loan and revolving credit facility on the closing date, $18.7 million paid to settle Fertitta Entertainment's liability-classified equity awards, and assumed liabilities of $1.3 million. The Fertitta Entertainment Acquisition was funded with proceeds received by the Company in connection with the initial public offering ("IPO") of Red Rock Resorts, Inc. ("Red Rock Resorts") and borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility. Red Rock Resorts is a newly formed entity that holds all of the Company's voting interests and indirectly holds approximately 36% of the Company's economic interests through its ownership interest in Station Holdco LLC ("Station Holdco"), the holder of 100% of the Company's economic interests. Red Rock Resorts is designated as the Company's sole managing member and controls and operates all of the business and affairs of the Company. Station Holdco issued new LLC units (the "Holdco Units") to Red Rock Resorts in exchange for $424.4 million in net proceeds from the IPO, and contributed $419.5 million of the proceeds to the Company, with the remaining $4.9 million used to reimburse the Company for deferred offering costs it had incurred in connection with the IPO. The IPO, the Fertitta Entertainment Acquisition, and the related reorganization transactions are referred to herein as the "IPO and Reorganization Transactions". Prior to the Fertitta Entertainment Acquisition, Station had long-term management agreements with affiliates of Fertitta Entertainment to manage its properties. In connection with the Fertitta Entertainment Acquisition, the management agreements were terminated (other than with respect to the Wild Wild West property) and Station entered into new employment agreements with its executive officers and other individuals who were employed by Fertitta Entertainment prior to the completion of the Fertitta Entertainment Acquisition. Prior to the Fertitta Entertainment Acquisition, Station Holdco, Station and Fertitta Entertainment were controlled by Frank J. Fertitta III, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Lorenzo J. Fertitta, a member of the Company’s board of directors, who collectively held a majority of the voting and economic interests in these entities. The Fertitta Entertainment Acquisition constituted an acquisition of an entity under common control and was accounted for at historical cost in a manner similar to a pooling of interests, which required the Company to recognize a deemed distribution of approximately $389.6 million to equity holders of Fertitta Entertainment. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements represent the effect of the retrospective combination of the financial statements of the Company and Fertitta Entertainment for all periods presented. 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 year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2015. Certain amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the prior year have been reclassified to be consistent with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net income. Principles of Consolidation The amounts shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries, including Fertitta Entertainment, as more fully described above, and MPM Enterprises, LLC ("MPM"), which is a 50% owned, consolidated variable interest entity ("VIE") that manages Gun Lake Casino. The financial position and results of operations attributable to third party holdings of MPM are reported separately within noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated financial statements. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Investments in Joint Ventures and Variable Interest Entities 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, and as such, is MPM's primary beneficiary. The assets of MPM reflected in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 included intangible assets of $16.6 million and $21.7 million, respectively, and receivables of $2.9 million and $3.4 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 investments in 50% owned joint ventures which are accounted for using the equity method, including three 50% owned smaller casino properties. Equity method investments at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 also included $2.9 million and $6.3 million, respectively, of investments in certain restaurants at the Company's properties which are considered to be VIEs, of which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. In January 2016, one of these restaurants closed and the joint venture ended. The Company’s equity method investments are not, in the aggregate, material in relation to its financial position or results of operations. 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 financial statements and the accompanying notes. Significant estimates incorporated into the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements include the estimated useful lives of 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 fair values of certain assets related to write-downs and impairments, the estimated grant date fair value of share-based compensation, the estimated reserve for self-insured 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. Discontinued Operations During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company's majority-owned consolidated subsidiary, Fertitta Interactive LLC ("Fertitta Interactive"), ceased operations. Fertitta Interactive previously operated online gaming in New Jersey and online poker in Nevada under the Ultimate Gaming and Ultimate Poker brands, respectively. The results of operations of Fertitta Interactive were reported in discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, and the assets and liabilities of Fertitta Interactive were reported separately in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2015. The Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 has not been adjusted for discontinued operations. 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, 2015. Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amended accounting guidance that simplifies certain aspects of the accounting for share-based payments, including income taxes, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification within the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted this guidance during the second quarter of 2016 and the adoption had no impact on its financial position or results of operations. In February 2016, the FASB issued amended accounting guidance that changes the accounting for leases and requires expanded disclosures about leasing activities. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, measured on a discounted basis, at the commencement date for all leases with terms greater than twelve months. Lessor accounting will remain largely unchanged, other than certain targeted improvements intended to align lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and with the updated revenue recognition guidance issued in 2014. Lessees and lessors must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The amended guidance is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its financial position and results of operations. In September 2015, the FASB issued amended accounting guidance that simplifies the accounting for measurement-period adjustments in business combinations. The amended guidance requires an acquirer to record changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of changes to estimated amounts identified during the measurement period, in the reporting period in which the adjustments are identified, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The amended guidance also requires an entity to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings, by line item, that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the estimated amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2016 and the adoption had no impact on its financial position or results of operations. In May 2014, the 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. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods (including interim periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016. 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.
