Plans for a new Station Casinos resort in the southwest Las Vegas Valley were approved during a Clark County Commission zoning meeting Wednesday.

The casino and hotel complex, called Durango, is planned for a plot of land owned by Station near the 215 Beltway and Durango Drive.

The company also on Wednesday released renderings of what it expects the complex — including over 80,000 square feet of casino space and 200 hotel rooms with the possibility of added rooms at some point — will look like.

In a news release, Station indicated the resort will feature four “signature food and beverage outlets,” along with a “state-of-the-art” race and sports book.

It is also expected to have 20,000 square feet of convention space and 40 electric vehicle charging stations.

Ground is expected to be broken for the project early next year, according to the company.

A cost estimate is expected in coming weeks.

Station has owned the undeveloped 71-acre property since 2000.

The company has nine large casinos and 10 bar, restaurant and sports betting properties. Its Fiesta Henderson, Texas Station in Las Vegas and Fiesta Rancho in North Las Vegas closed during the coronavirus pandemic and have not reopened.
