Durango Casino & Resort and Station Casinos and Red Rock Resorts Will Partner to Create a Development Strategy

Stephen Cootey, RRR'S treasurer, chief financial officer, and executive vice president, stated that the casino resort is in a developing part of the Vegas Valley. It lacks gaming rivals in a five-mile radius and has a great demographic profile.

The official added that the casino's work in progress is promising and it will start operating before 2024. Still, Red Rock Resorts is determined to launch Durango in this year's fourth quarter.
