The Starlight Casino and Hotel was a luxury resort in or near Federation space. The facility was originally constructed as a Starfleet space station, Deep Space Station K-2; however, when the Federation decided to decommission it, it was sold to a consortium of entrepreneurs. They converted the station into a holiday resort, featuring a casino, luxury suites and accommodations, holodecks, swimming pools, live entertainment venues, and three restaurants serving dishes from around the galaxy.
