ON THE BOULEVARD: Station Casinos restores retirement match for employees

Consider it a sign of an improving local economy – or at least increased business at local gaming giant Station Casinos.

The casino company, which employs approximately 13,000 locals, is restoring its 401(k) retirement match. A spokesperson this week also confirmed the Station management has approved raises in July for employees with at least one year of service.

One of Southern Nevada's largest employers, Station Casinos has gone through tumultuous times in recent months, experiencing everything from bankruptcy reorganization to a labor battle with the Culinary Union Local 226.
