The puck is about to drop for a Tuesday evening Vegas Golden Knights game, and the Durango Casino and Resort parking lot is filling up quickly underneath the glow of a 130-foot-tall marquee promising $3 shots and beers.
Inside, beyond the bustling baccarat tables, a longtime local named Patricia Moore adjusts her Vegas Golden Knights cap as her husband, John, places his bets.
“We’ve been coming here for games because it’s just so new and clean, and we love The George [Sportsmen’s Lounge],” she says, noting that Durango has decisively become her favorite off-Strip casino since it opened in late 2023.
Durango’s early popularity has already driven a series of extensive upgrades. On December 15, it’s set to unveil a new parking garage and high-limit slot room.
