The Green Valley Ranch poker room took much of the action from Sunset Station when it opened. Both are owned by Station Casinos. Sunset Station closed its poker room in 2014. Green Valley Ranch may have also played a part in the closure of M Resort’s poker room due to its popularity. There are 22 tables in the Green Valley Ranch poker room.
