“Station Casinos is bullish on the local and overall Las Vegas gaming market, which is why we are investing $750 million in Durango Station,” said Scott Kreeger, President of Station Casinos. “This brick-and-mortar investment will create thousands of construction and permanent jobs, generating tens of millions of dollars in economic impact and tax revenue to the state and county.”

Construction Plans:
W.A. Richardson Builders, LLC has been selected as the project’s construction manager. The Architect of Record will be Las Vegas-based Friedmutter Group; both firms will be led by Station Casinos’ in-house design and construction teams. The Company will also partner with various interior design firms, including Looney & Associates and Avenue ID, the designers responsible for the hotel lobby and bar, which the Company unveiled today.
Fun fact: 18,286 cubic yards of concrete will be poured over 624 tons of steel erected on the site over the coming months.
The Logo:
Durango Casinos & Resort’s logo is a clean and modern representation of the resort, and the word mark is topped by its signature icon, the agave plant – a nod to the desert landscapes in which the resort will sit. The new brand’s color pallet is imbued with warm colors and styled to fit the landscape.
Design Sneak Peek:
The Company also shared never-before-seen renderings of its luxe hotel lobby designed by Looney & Associates and the lobby bar designed by Avenue ID.
Upon arrival, guests will immediately be greeted by natural stone-clad floors and walls, while the texture, light, and neutral tones flood the space. Durango’s inviting hotel lobby has relaxed energy and breeze while thoughtful design and warm light greet guests at the open doors. The stunning room effortlessly flows into the lobby bar, where cozy nooks, cool sofas, and one-of-a-kind art pieces create the perfect chemistry of conversations, relaxation, and a sense of place.
The lobby bar is a private oasis tucked away from the hotel’s main entrance. The lobby bar takes inspiration from travels worldwide and the beautiful palette of the desert landscape; the space exudes sophistication, simplicity, and softness. The lobby bar provides numerous seating groupings to create a collaborative environment, a place for guests to socialize and sip cocktails, plug-in and work, or dine, both inside and out.
