Station Casinos has released renderings of its planned Durango casino (officially, “Durango, a Station Casinos Resort”), and the resort is a beauty.<\/p>\n

Durango casino, the way humans will refer to it, will be built in southwest Las Vegas, off the 215 beltway and Durango Drive. (See map a few paragaphs from now.)<\/p>\n

\"Durango
“Durango” comes from Basque word “urango” which means “water town,” a great fit for Las Vegas, except for the water part.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In other words, if you visit Las Vegas twice a year from Minnesota, you’ll never go there, but we’re sharing the renderings, anyway.<\/p>\n

The new Durango casino will have all the amenities which have made Station Casinos so popular with Las Vegas locals, and none of the amenities that tanked Palms (like a $60 million contract with Marshmello).<\/p>\n

\"Durango
Fun fact: The current site has approximately zero percent of the foliage pictured. Or anything pictured, really.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Durango casino will have an 83,000-square-foot casino, which provides us the opportunity to point out how difficult it must be to buy shoes if you have square feet.<\/p>\n

The resort will have a hotel tower with 200 rooms and suites.<\/p>\n

\"\"
This might help you get your bearings. Google, define “closed.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Durango will have four restaurants, a food court (sorry, “food hall”), a sportsbook, pool and event lawn and more.<\/p>\n

This sounds the official death knell of perfunctory buffets at locals casinos, in case that weren’t obvious.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Come on, rendering artists. Do they carry Captain Morgan?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Durango casino has echoes of the company’s Red Rock Resort in Summerlin, and has design flourishes that remind us of the newly-renovated Virgin Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Station Casinos also owns other go-to spots for Las Vegas locals, including Palace Station, Green Valley Ranch, Boulder Station and the former gem, Wild Wild West. (It was a gem until they booted the table games.)<\/p>\n

Several of the company’s casinos haven’t reopened since the March 2020 shutdown: Texas Station, Fiesta Henderson and Fiesta Rancho.<\/p>\n

It’s great to see Station Casinos is putting the money from its $650 million sale of Palms<\/a> to the San Manuel tribe to good use.<\/p>\n

Durango Station casino is expected to cost $400-500 million.<\/p>\n

\"Durango
The pointy part comes from Virgin, the rest comes from Red Rock.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

These Durango casino renderings look great, and Station Casinos is sticking to what it does best, delivering a gambling-focused experience for Las Vegas locals seeking a decent value.<\/p>\n

While we don’t venture into this part of Las Vegas too often, we’ll go anywhere for that new casino smell and a $1 chip from the craps table for our collection.<\/p>\n

Construction of “Durango, a Station Casinos Resort” begins in early 2022.<\/p>\n

Let’s go, Station! Give those construction workers more coffee and we’ll get this puppy live long before the anticipated opening in late 2023.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
