LAS VEGAS (AP) — Station Casinos got the go-ahead Wednesday from county lawmakers to build a new hotel-casino in a neighborhood in the southwest part of the Valley
Clark County Commission approval means construction could start early next year for the 200-room tower dubbed “Durango, a Station Casinos Resort” near the 215 Beltway and S. Durango, company officials said.
Bob Finch, chief operating officer for Station parent company Red Rock Resorts, termed the project a next-generation attraction for local residents. He said it could open late next year.
A cost estimate is expected in coming weeks.
Plans call for a 216-foot-tall hotel, casino, pool with an event lawn, four restaurants and bars, a race and sports betting area, meeting and convention space, a parking structure and electric vehicle charging stations.
A second phase would add a second tower, more hotel rooms, a theater-entertainment space and bigger casino.
Station Casinos has owned the undeveloped 71-acre property since 2000.
