Durango Casino & Resort, Station Casinos’ latest hotel-casino under development in the southwest valley, is expected to open on a Monday, Nov. 20.

The resort, on South Durango Drive near the 215 Beltway, will feature 200 hotel rooms, convention and meeting space, a resort pool, outdoor social areas and free parking. The $780 million project is expected to be the only unrestricted gaming property in a five-mile radius and is in one of the fastest-growing areas of the Las Vegas Valley. The resort will need 1,500 workers hired before doors open, which will not be easy with the Fountainebleu and The Sphere opening for business near the same time.

The opening date will come only a few days after the Strip is expected to be flooded with visitors in town for the Formula One Grand Prix. The main event race will be held on Nov. 18. The company recently completed a 130-foot LED sign that will inform 215 Beltway travelers about the hotel’s latest news.
