LAS VEGAS, Nevada -- Station Casinos laid off nearly 70 workers at the corporate level because of the slowing economy, the company confirmed late Thursday.

Spokeswoman Lori Nelson confirmed the number but would not say which departments were affected, saying only it was a mix of "corporate management and support staff."

"We continue to be impacted by the economy," Nelson said. "With no immediate signs of let up, we had to take these measures."

In February, the locals gaming company said "economic conditions" had led to some layoffs at the property level. However, Station Casinos declined to discuss how widespread those layoffs have been.
