Grand Prix 2, released in North America as \"Grand Prix II\", is a racing simulator released by MicroProse in 1996. It is a sequel to Formula One Grand Prix.

Fiesta Rancho was a hotel and casino located on 25.46 acres (10.30\u00a0ha) of land at 2400 North Rancho Drive in North Las Vegas, Nevada, across the street from the Texas Station hotel and casino. The Maloof family opened the Fiesta on December 14, 1994, with 100 rooms and a 25,000\u00a0sq\u00a0ft (2,300\u00a0m2) casino. It was the first hotel-casino to open in North Las Vegas.

The resort was popular among local residents, prompting a 50,000\u00a0sq\u00a0ft (4,600\u00a0m2) expansion that began in 1995. The expansion included a drive-through sportsbook, a remodeled buffet, and a larger casino. A $26 million, 50,000\u00a0sq\u00a0ft (4,600\u00a0m2) expansion took place in 1999, adding a food court, a parking garage, and additional casino space. At the time, a majority of the Fiesta's slot machines played video poker, and the casino had been proclaimed as \"the Royal Flush Capital of the World,\" having paid out over 118,500 royal flushes won through its video poker machines. Station Casinos purchased the Fiesta in 2001 and renamed it as Fiesta Rancho to differentiate it from its new sister property, Fiesta Henderson.

Nevada casinos were closed on March 17, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior to that point, Fiesta Rancho had been one of Station's worst-performing properties. It remained closed while other casinos began reopening, with most of its customer base relocating to the company's nearby Santa Fe Station. In July 2022, Station announced that it would demolish the Fiesta properties and sell the land.
