Red Rock Resorts is actively recruiting a staff of 1,700 employees for the casino. The expansive casino floor spans 83,000 square feet, housing nearly 2,300 slot machines, 63 table games, and multiple dining options, including four full-service restaurants and a 25,000-square-foot food hall.
Situated on a 50-acre site near the 215 Beltway and South Durango Drive, the Durango Casino and Resort boasts 201 rooms, aiming to become the primary casino within a 5-mile radius. The primary focus is on providing top-notch service to Las Vegas Valley residents, fostering return visits.įertitta stated, “The most important thing is that the level of service on the day that we open is at the highest quality it can be.” The delay, however, will not result in additional costs beyond the initial budget of $780 million earmarked for the Durango Casino and Resort project. Fertitta emphasized the importance of adequate time for staff training and venue preparation, ensuring a flawless opening experience. Red Rock Resorts’ Vice Chairman, Lorenzo Fertitta, explained that “certain areas” critical to the opening were not completed on time. Originally slated for November 20, the new debut date is now December 5, as revealed during the company’s third-quarter earnings conference call. In a surprising turn of events, Red Rock Resorts has announced the decision to postpone the grand opening of its Durango Casino and Resort in Las Vegas.
