Re: STATION CASINOS, INC. REGISTRATION STATEMENT
ON FORM S-11 (REGISTRATION NO. 333-41735)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Station Casinos, Inc. (the "Company") hereby amends its earlier filed
request for withdrawal of its Registration Statement on Form S-11 (Registration
No. 333-41735), filed with the Commission on December 8, 1997 to add to such
request the information that the withdrawal is requested because the
transaction in which the securities to be registered would have been issued
and sold has been abandoned in light of the agreement of the Company to
merge with and into Crescent Real Estate Equities Company, a Texas real
estate investment trust.
Please advise the undersigned and our counsel, Eric H. Schunk of
Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy, 601 South Figueroa Street, 30th Floor, Los
Angeles, California 90017, Telephone No. (213) 892-4436, Fax No. (213)
629-5063, of the effectiveness of the order granting the withdrawal of the
Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
Station Casinos, Inc.
