Fiesta Henderson (formerly The Reserve) was a hotel and casino located on 35 acres (14 ha) of land at 777 West Lake Mead Parkway in Henderson, Nevada.[1] Gem Gaming announced the project in 1995, as The Reserve, with an opening planned for July 4, 1996. Construction began later in 1995, and the project was topped off in May 1996, with an opening scheduled for October 1. Steve Rebeil and Dominic Magliarditi, both of Gem Gaming, were the project developers. Later in 1996, Ameristar Casinos planned to purchase Gem Gaming, and construction slowed to allow for an expanded redesign of the project, which was then expected to open between March and April 1997.
In January 1997, Rebeil and Magliarditi were denied gaming licenses to operate the casino. Later that year, construction was stopped for three months when Ameristar accused Rebeil and Magliarditi of attempting to prevent Ameristar from issuing 7.5 million public stocks, which was to pay for the acquisition of Gem Gaming. Ameristar Casinos ultimately opened The Reserve on February 10, 1998, with an African safari/jungle theme, although the resort failed to generate a substantial profit. In 2001, The Reserve was purchased by Station Casinos, which renovated and rebranded the hotel-casino as the southwestern party-themed Fiesta Henderson. It was a sister property to Station's Fiesta Rancho, located in North Las Vegas, Nevada.
Nevada casinos were closed on March 17, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Up to that point, the Fiestas were among Station's worst-performing properties. Although casinos were allowed to reopen later in 2020, the Fiesta closures would become permanent. Station announced in July 2022 that it would demolish the properties and sell the land.
