LAS VEGAS (AP) — Las Vegas is getting its first ground-up casino in more than two years, with the debut of a modest $780 million property several miles from resort-lined Strip that will cater more to local residents than international tourists.
Station Casinos, subsidiary of publicly traded Red Rock Resorts Inc., planned a daylong celebration and a nighttime fireworks display with the opening of the 15-story Durango Casino and Resort outside the city’s main resort corridor.
The 200-room hotel-casino represents the seventh off-Strip property in and around Las Vegas for Station Casinos, a company the late Frank Fertitta Jr. started as a bingo parlor in 1976 that today employs more than 11,000 workers.
