Red Rock Resorts commits $385M to next phase of Durango expansion in Las Vegas

Red Rock Resorts will invest $385 million in a second phase of expansion of its Durango Casino & Resort in Las Vegas, adding a bowling alley, luxury movie theaters, new dining, and several entertainment venues as the company continues to grow its off-Strip presence. 

Construction on phase 2 is scheduled to begin in January 2026 and take about 18 months to complete, expanding the north side of the property by 275,000 square feet. It includes a 36-lane bowling facility, multiple new restaurants and food hall outlets, and an expanded casino floor with 400 additional slot machines.

Phase 1 of Durango’s development is scheduled to be completed in December 2025, with 230 new slot machines set to go into operation. This includes 120 machines in a new high-limit area and bar, as well as expanded parking to support the growth.

“Guests really have taken to the property and we’ve been very happy with the results so far,” Lorenzo Fertitta, director of Red Rock Resorts, said.

Chairman and CEO Frank Fertitta III said the additional amenities reflect what patrons expect from the company’s neighborhood casino model. “The one thing that our customer base expects is all these other entertainment amenities like movie theaters and bowling and things of this nature,” he said.

The expansion comes as Red Rock’s Las Vegas properties continue to outperform Strip resorts, with the company reporting a ninth consecutive quarterly record for net revenue at $468.6 million and record adjusted earnings of $209.4 million in the third quarter.

A further phase of development could eventually add hotel and convention space at Durango. Company officials are expected to announce their next property development plans in late January.
