Durango Casino & Resort Launches $385 Million Expansion Project
Durango Casino & Resort has commenced construction on the third phase of its expansion, a major milestone in its long-term development plan. The north property expansion will add an impressive 275,000 square feet to the existing facilities, introducing a broader mix of gaming, dining, entertainment, and recreation designed to elevate the guest experience in southwest Las Vegas.
For readers in Australia tracking Las Vegas resort developments (or planning a U.S. trip), this is the kind of expansion that matters: more on-site experiences beyond the casino floor. Official resort information is available here: Durango Casino & Resort.
What’s coming in Phase III
The new phase follows the recent opening of the Phase II south expansion, which added more than 25,000 square feet of additional casino space. That earlier expansion introduced a high-limit slot room, a bar, and a new covered parking structure—setting the stage for the current development.
Looking ahead, the Phase III expansion is expected to deliver:
- A larger casino floor with approximately 400 additional slot machines
- A state-of-the-art 36-lane bowling facility
- Luxury movie theaters
- Multiple new restaurant concepts and food hall outlets
- Several new entertainment venues
Timeline, cost, and guest access
Construction is currently underway and is expected to take around 18 months to complete, with an estimated cost of $385 million. During this period, all existing resort amenities are expected to remain open and accessible to guests, helping to minimize disruption.
Location
Durango Casino & Resort is located at 6915 S Durango Dr, Las Vegas, NV 89148.
More details about the new offerings are expected to be announced in the coming months as construction progresses. Overall, this expansion represents a substantial investment in the region’s entertainment and hospitality landscape—aimed at drawing both locals and visitors to a more full-scale resort experience.
