The southwestern-themed Santa Fe was built at 4949 North Rancho Drive, on 36 acres (15 ha) of land east of and directly alongside U.S. Lowden announced the start of construction in June 1989. Although the northwest area was largely vacant, Lowden believed that it would eventually become the center of urban development, a belief that came true. In 1989, Paul Lowden, the head of Sahara Casino Partners Limited (later Santa Fe Gaming Corporation), had plans to build a hotel-casino in northwest Las Vegas. The resort was renamed as the Santa Fe Station, and subsequently underwent several expansions and renovations. The Santa Fe was involved in a labor dispute with Culinary Workers Union that began in 1993 and lasted into 2000, when the resort was sold to Station Casinos. The hotel-casino originally opened as the Santa Fe in 1991, and for several years included the only ice rink in Las Vegas. The casino is owned by Station Casinos and is located on 36 acres (15 ha) of land.
