Durango Casino & Resort in Las Vegas marked the latest advancement in its $385m expansion project, which is set to expand the north side of the property by over 275,000 sq ft and add 400 slot machines to the casino floor.
Suffolk Construction recently lifted the largest piece of structural steel for the project – weighing approximately 180,000 pounds – which originally began in January after the completion of Durango’s first expansion during December 2025 for $120m.
The Station Casinos property was officially launched in December 2023 with a construction cost of $780m, while the most recent expansion project will also add a 36-lane bowling facility and luxury movie theaters.
Durango’s first expansion was responsible for the addition of 25,000 sq ft of casino space, including 230 new slot machines – 120 of which were dedicated to a high-limit slot area.
According to Red Rock Resorts President Scott Kreeger, the second expansion project is still expected to debut in the second half of 2027, having originally been given an 18-month timeline when construction started in January.
On September 10, Station Casinos awarded more than $70m in Red Rock Resorts stock to nearly 10,000 employees as the Nevada operator concluded celebrations marking its 50th anniversary.
Eligible full and part-time employees working for the operator as of September 9 will receive $1,000 in Red Rock Resorts Class A stock for each year of service.
Station Casinos also celebrated its 50th anniversary in Las Vegas with a new citywide brand campaign, which debuted at Palace Station on July 1 prior to a drones and fireworks show presented by the operator.
As part of the new campaign, Station Casinos unveiled a fresh logo for the operator’s brand, created to pay tribute to the company’s origins while also introducing a more contemporary design.
