What to pack for Palace Station and a Las Vegas stay
Pack smart for Palace Station Hotel and Casino: bring ID and the card you’ll use for the refundable incidental deposit, lightweight daytime clothes and a swimsuit for the seasonal outdoor pool, plus one set of nicer clothes and shoes for evening dining or the casino. Include basics for a hotel stay—phone chargers, OTC meds, and any child items (cribs are available free; rollaway beds cost extra).

Essentials to bring
Always have the photo ID and the credit/debit card you’ll use at check-in. Palace Station requires a refundable incidental deposit (USD 100 per stay is standard on OTA listings) and asks guests to show ID and a card at arrival.
Also pack your booking confirmation and a copy of any special requests (early check-in, rollaway, or crib). The front desk is open 24 hours, and express or contactless check-out is available if you prefer to avoid a line.
- Government-issued photo ID (required at check-in)
- Credit or debit card for deposit and payments
- Booking confirmation and contact phone (+1 (888) 605-1350 for BookResorts agents)
- Any membership cards or comps if you have Station Casinos loyalty status
| Item | Why |
|---|---|
| Photo ID | Required to check in |
| Card for deposit | Refundable incidental deposit and resort fee charges |
| Booking confirmation | Speeds up check-in and notes special requests |
Clothing and shoes for Las Vegas weather
Las Vegas weather varies by season: spring and fall are mild and best for walking, summer is very hot, and winter is cooler. Pack light breathable layers if you visit March–May or September–November; heavier layers for December–February evenings.
For daytime on property or outings to the Strip, comfortable walking shoes are a good idea. Bring one dressier outfit and shoes for nicer restaurants such as The Charcoal Room or evening casino bars.
- Light layers (T-shirts, light jacket or sweater)
- Comfortable walking shoes and one pair of dress shoes
- Swim cover-up if you plan to use the pool
- Sun protection: hat, sunglasses, sunscreen
| Season | Packing tip |
|---|---|
| Spring/Fall | Layering pieces, comfortable shoes |
| Summer | Very light clothes, lots of sunscreen |
| Winter | Light coat for evenings |
Pool and pool deck items
Palace Station has a single seasonal outdoor pool with loungers, towel service, a poolside bar, and rentable cabanas/daybeds. The pool is family-friendly and generally open during warmer months; hours vary by season.
Pool towel service is provided and the pool is heated per some listings. Alcohol at the pool is only served to guests 21 and older, so bring appropriate ID if you plan to order drinks poolside.

If you plan to visit Cinebarre or other on-site venues, a comfortable evening outfit that can layer is useful. Carry your ID anytime you intend to order alcohol.

Family travel and kids
Palace Station is family-friendly and welcomes guests of all ages; up to three children 17 and under stay free using existing bedding. Cribs and infant beds are provided free of charge on request, while rollaway beds are available for a nightly fee.
If you’ll use family services (cribs, rollaways), request them in advance and reconfirm at check-in. Pack familiar items for children—snacks, a small nightlight, and any favorite bedding or toys to help them sleep in a new room type such as Premier Room, City View or Studio Suite.
- Pack any child medications and favorite comfort items
- Request crib ahead of arrival if needed (free)

Tech, documents, and money
Palace Station provides free WiFi in guest rooms and public areas, but bring chargers and any travel adapters you need. If you plan to work or attend meetings, bring a laptop and portable charger; meeting spaces are available on property.
