A brand new addition to Las Vegas, Nevada has officially opened its doors on December 5th, 2023 at 10 a.m. The Durango Hotel and Casino on Durango Dr. is a brand new attraction that is off of the strip.
To celebrate the grand opening of the Durango Casino, a firework show lit up the sky to officially end its opening day festivities, prior to the ribbon cutting ceremony in the morning to commence the casino’s official opening.
Throughout the day, the casino had a packed house with major traffic on Durango, full of people running to see the brand new hotel. Durango is the first brand new hotel and casino resort to open in Las Vegas in 2 and a half years.
Not only is the casino a beautiful sight outside, but also inside. The hotel and casino features 15 different bars and restaurants. “Eat Your Heart Out” is the hotel’s hall of food where the seating is more of a communal eating experience such as a food court. Although the seating for this section of the hotel is communal, that does not stop the hotel food from being 5 star. One of the current fan favorites of the hotel is Yu – or – Mi Sushi, a small and intimate Japanese restaurant with premium sushi and cocktails served with fresh ingredients.
Bel Air Backyard is the hotel’s outside sitting area with beautiful towering palm trees and verdant shrubbery. This is what the hotel considers an ultimate poolside oasis. Bel Air Backyard will provide a VIP experience along with private cabanas, luxury daybeds and more. The pool will also offer an array of drinks and snacks to be served at poolside.
Durango Hotel and Casino may just be one of Las Vegas best off the strip casinos yet.
