The $780 million Durango Casino Resort in southwest Las Vegas has been open for a little more than 60 days and has wowed its visitors — including the competition.
“I’ve been through it. I think it’s a beautiful building,” said Boyd Gaming CEO Keith Smith, whose company competes with Durango developer Red Rock Resorts throughout Southern Nevada.
Smith told The Nevada Independent last week that he visited Durango shortly after the property — Southern Nevada’s first new locals casino since 2009 — opened.
“Those folks [Red Rock Resorts] do a great job building and operating properties,” Smith said. “I’m sure it’s going to be very successful in the long run.”
