Plans submitted to the county note two phases of construction. Finch estimated Durango would open late 2023. The company intends to release a cost estimate for Durango at its third-quarter earnings call with investors this fall. “Once again Stations, as a true locals casino, is coming to the rescue in the southwest, I’d say, by providing them a place where they can dine, where they can go hang out,” Bob Finch, chief operating officer for Station parent company Red Rock Resorts, told the Review-Journal. They say the resort will focus on gaming, have little competition within 5 square miles and cater to the southwest valley’s growing population. Station plans to break ground on its new project - Durango, a Station Casinos Resort - early next year, according to the company. The Clark County Commission greenlighted the company’s proposal to build a 211-room hotel with an 83,178-square-foot casino on South Durango Drive just south of the 215 Beltway. Station Casinos received approval from county officials Wednesday to move forward with its much-anticipated plan to build a resort in the southwest valley.
