Believe it or not, even more exciting news in terms of businesses opening their doors is on the way for Sin City. That’s because a new $750 million casino is set to open in Las Vegas next year called: Durango Casino & Resort. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Stations Casinos – which is quite popular – has officially broken ground on construction for its massive new casino. This project will be going down in the southwest part of Vegas.
As you might have been able to guess, there’s plenty of excitement over this new project and rightfully so. Whenever there’s a new casino that opens up in Vegas, people are going to be talking about it. With this new project, it’ll be headed to the famous Durango Drive, which adds even more excitement for the project as a whole in this case.
“For 45 years, we’ve been the go-to in the market for entertainment and gaming, and each time we build a new property — we are a bricks-and-mortar company — when we build a property we’ve taken what we’ve learned along the journey and create something new that’s relevant for the time and the customer preference and stretch the envelope of creativity and offering from one property to the next,” Red Rocks president Scott Kreeger said.
There’s of course going to be plenty of pressure for this new casino to live up to the high reputation for Vegas, but clearly the entire team is confident in things going without a hitch. On top of that, the company’s employees have also been given a look at the project first hand, which is only making the public more anxious for them to set foot inside. Things are expected to open in late 2023, though no official date has been set.
You could have probably already guessed this, but the new Stations Casino will feature several key attractions that people are no question going to love. Per a report, the casino will feature at least 200 rooms, which will of course bring in plenty of tourists from all over the country. It’s always going to be a great place for people to stay, especially for those who head to Sin City to gamble.
Not only that, but there will be an 83,000 square foot sportsbook for people to enjoy. That is simply out of this world, as it will give people even more reason to check out all the different Las Vegas sports odds and place a wager. Folks will check things out via the best rated Vegas sportsbooks, head to the main floor for this new casino and be all set to make a wager.
This is something the marketing team for Stations Casino and Red Rocks will surely keep in mind as they put together their plan. There will also be four different food and beverage outlets, a nine-tenant food hall, a massive pool that will feature private cabanas and so much more. This really is going to be an incredible space for people to plan their vacations around.
“We bent a lot of rules in what was traditionally viewed as a gaming property, and I know that was met with great success,” Kreeger told the Las Vegas Journal-Review during their exclusive interview recently. “So I think the types of things you saw with Red Rock you’re going to see at the next level with Durango.”
Obviously, the new sportsbook could be huge for Raiders fans too. As you’ve probably seen by now, Las Vegas’ NFL team has been incredibly busy this offseason in making moves. It has the team’s supporters jacked up for the new campaign, but the future is also bright beyond 2022. Come 2023, Las Vegas will also be ready to make plenty of noise all across the AFC.
The big news thus far in recent months has been the moves with Davante Adams and Derek Carr. Starting with Adams, landing him from the Green Bay Packers was easily one of the biggest trades we’ve seen in a long time. Adams is one of the best offensive players out there and he’s ready to make some serious noise now that he’s catching the ball from Carr.
Speaking of Carr, he and the Raiders were finally able to get their extension across the board. Carr signed a three-year contract worth more than $120 million. He’s now paid like one of the top signal-callers in the game and he’ll be ready to try and lead this team on a deep postseason run. Las Vegas made it to the AFC Wild Card Round last year, but lost to the Bengals.
Now that there’s so much excitement around this team, people are going to keep making more and more Raiders bets, including NFL futures bets. This will of course be big for the Stations Casino once they open. People going with the Raiders on a consistent basis won’t be stopping in the near future.
