The George Sportsmen’s Lounge is set to open at the $780 million Durango resort when the property debuts in the fall in southwest Las Vegas. The bar, restaurant and entertainment venue draws inspiration, in part, from the term “George,” which is classic casino slang for a big tipper.

But trying to make George happen goes beyond slang. “George can be anyone or everyone. It’s not about impressing others; it’s about being true to yourself and embracing the moment,” Fine Entertainment Management, creator of The George, said in an announcement shared first with the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

“A George isn’t just at the party; they are the party.”
