The project initially was to include a 23-story, 300-foot hotel tower with 1,000 rooms, as well as timeshare buildings that would be added in a future phase. The project was announced in July 2002 and is named after the nearby Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. It is Station Casinos' flagship property, and the company's corporate headquarters is located on the property.

It is owned and operated by Station Casinos on 59.43 acres (24.05 ha) located in the Downtown Summerlin neighborhood. Red Rock Resort is a hotel and casino in Summerlin South, Nevada, located in the Las Vegas Valley. Guests with restaurant reservations will be also contacted with an offer to rebook at another property or for a future date at a Durango restaurant. 5 at Durango will be given priority booking for future dates or offered to be rebooked at one of six other Station Casino properties in Las Vegas. Hotel guests with reservations between Nov. 20 would be paid salaries and tips beginning that day. The company said in a statement that its Durango employees who were scheduled to start work on Nov. Red Rock is in the process of hiring the casino’s 1,700-person workforce.

The property will have 20,000 square feet of convention and meeting space and a resort pool area. The 83,000-square-foot casino floor will house almost 2,300 slot machines, 63 table games and 15 dining establishments that include four full-service restaurants and a 25,000-square-foot food hall.

Durango will be the only major casino within a 5-mile radius available to more than 250,000 adults in the area. The 201-room casino and resort has been under construction for almost 20 months on a 50-acre site near the 215 Beltway and South Durango Drive.

“The most important thing is that the level of service on the day that we opened is at the highest quality that it can be.”Ĭootey said the delayed opening won’t lead to any additional costs that would cause the company to increase the budget beyond $780 million. “We didn't feel like it gave us enough time to properly train our staff and our team members in the venues and be able to have the appropriate load-in days and then play days,” Fertitta said, describing pre-opening days for a casino resort. Fertitta did not say if the areas were restaurants or portions of the casino floor.
