Station Casinos is headquartered in Las Vegas and they own and operate more than a dozen hotels and casinos in southern Nevada. “We by no means were trying to copy a Las Vegas casino buffet, our restaurant is a place to come to sit and dine, not a place to stand in line and load up a plate,” Alex said in a recent press release. Feast offers a selection of American-style cuisine. The Reno restaurant is co-owned by mother-and-son team Esmeralda and Alex Long. The letter said, “In short, we believe your unauthorized use of FEAST in connection with the same services Station Casinos offers under its federally registered mark constitutes unfair competition and trademark infringement under federal law.” The Feast in Reno received a cease and desist letter about two months ago from Station Casinos, LLC.
The Palace Station Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, which has a buffet in the casino called Feast Buffet, is threatening a lawsuit against Feast claiming trademark infringement. Feast, a Reno fine-dining restaurant located on the cusp of Downtown and Midtown, is facing a potential name change.
