Regardless of size, all suites receive butler service, which is like having a personal concierge. The hotel tower has 180 standard rooms and 29 suites with lounge furniture and TVs on outdoor terraces at a few high-end options on the top three floors. The resort fee is $45, maxing out the standard for off-Strip resorts, but it is in line with luxury Station Casinos properties like Red Rock Resort and Green Valley Ranch. That makes it easy to request your car with the touch of a phone while finishing up dinner. Parking and valet are free, with digital tickets for the latter. Sometimes, the time between arrival and entering the room can be as low as seven minutes, which is notable for Vegas. There are no kiosks here, but mobile check-in is available with a digital key option. They're just steps away from the hotel porte-cochère with personnel communicating on earpieces like secret-service agents to keep every moment as seamless as possible. By comparison, Durango Casino and Resort is a well-oiled machine with customer-service 'pods' offering a more personal, intimate way to check-in. Even the parking garage looks good at night.ĭurango Casino is designed to be an easy, attractive alternative to the chaotic Strip hotel experience, where it's not uncommon to see guests trudging luggage through sprawling casino floors. Fresh flowers by Flora Couture are prominently featured and it's easy to walk from one end to another without fuss. The interior is bright and engaging with light, neutral tones, waves of natural sunlight, and a smartly built integration of outdoor spaces. The golden 15-story hotel tower is an instant, impossible-to-ignore landmark, just off the 215 Beltway, with a color palette inspired by the surrounding desert and a small forest of palm and pine trees lining the perimeter.

Does it feel like home? Not quite, but it's got plenty to offer to locals and tourists alike. Now, with the ferocity and aggression of a Mick Mars guitar solo, Durango Casino & Resort roars into the Southwest Valley, instantly reshaping an already fast-growing corner of the Las Vegas Valley. The same resort company that used Poison's 'Nothing But a Good Time' in an anniversary ad campaign a couple of years ago has been teasing its latest property with snippets of 'Home Sweet Home' by Mötley Crüe in a series of commercials. Somebody at Station Casinos likes hair metal.
