The new gaming area is to open this month, directly across from the Pussycat Dolls Lounge inside PURE nightclub. The themed pit will feature a range of "sexy" slot machines, plus blackjack, crap and roulette tables (including some with legs adorned in fishnet tights and stilettos).

Q. What's a bad-beat jackpot?

A. It's a jackpot for poker players that pays the loser (and others) when someone loses with a great hand. For example, the bad-beat-jackpot record of $458,978 was recently set at Red Rock Resort when a player with four aces was beaten by a player with a straight flush. The winner got $30,629, the loser got $45,629, and everyone playing in any Station Casinos' poker room got $629.
