The much-anticipated locals casino, Durango Resort, has pushed back its opening date from Nov. 20 to Dec. 5, 2023.<\/p>\n

Station Casinos, owner of Durango, say it’s to “ensure a first-class opening of the property.”<\/p>\n

Which we take to mean there will be more leg room, free Champagne and lie-flat beds.<\/p>\n

As the British poet you never knew existed said, “All things come to those who wait.” She definitely never played Megabucks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Durango Casino will be about 10 minutes west of the Las Vegas Strip, and if you’re a typical Las Vegas visitor, you’ll never go there, but locals are champing at the bit to check it out.<\/p>\n

That’s because locals have an insatiable appetite for new things, especially when they’re already in the loyalty club. Locals are also big on champing.<\/p>\n

Durango can’t push its opening date any further because it will slam up against the opening of another new casino, Fontainebleau. The luxury Strip resort opens Dec. 13, 2023. While there will be approximately zero overlap in customers at these casinos, nobody wants to share the limelight when they open a new casino.<\/p>\n
