Meanwhile, 8 miles away, construction continues on Station’s $750 million Durango casino-resort, located on Durango Drive near the 215 Beltway. The hotel-casino sits on nearly 100 acres of prime real estate across from the Strip and not far from Allegiant Stadium. Shortly after, it announced a move to close, demolish and redevelop the 260-room hotel-casino Wild Wild West, on Tropicana Avenue west of Interstate 15.
When news broke in July that the locals-focused company, owned by Red Rock Resorts, would permanently close, demolish then sell the land beneath the three properties, Station’s plans became more obvious.ĭays after announcing the demolitions, the company completed the $172.4 million purchase of 126 acres at the southwest corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Cactus Avenue, across the street from another one of its land holdings. Steve Sisolak ordered the temporary shutdown of businesses to slow the spread of COVID-19. Southern Nevadans had waited two years to find out what would happen to Station’s three shuttered properties - Fiesta Henderson, Fiesta Rancho and Texas Station – which remained closed since March 2020 after Gov. is kicking up a dust storm - jump-starting development plans and drawing attention from locals as it looks to double its presence in the Las Vegas Valley.
