A $780-million off-strip property, Durango Casino & Resort offers 209 desert-chic guest rooms, a state-of-the-art sportsbook, and an elevated food hall experience you don’t want to miss.
Big things are happening both on an off the Las Vegas strip these days.
Earlier this week, Durango Casino & Resort opened just ten miles shy of the strip, and featuring 209-desert-chic guest rooms and suites, an elevated food hall featuring dozens of restaurants and bars, an 83,000 square foot casino and luxe new sportbook, the new resort is already breathing new life into the city.
“We are eager to extend this warm hospitality to the Las Vegas community, recognizing the vibrant and diverse tapestry that makes this city truly unique,” Vice President and General Manager of Durango Casino & Resort David Horn said in a statement around the opening. “Our aim is to be more than just a place to stay or play, we want to be an integral part of the community, a place where residents and visitors alike can find a sense of comfort, enjoyment, and entertainment.”
A destination in its own right, the highly anticipated $780-million hotel offers 209- guest rooms and suites, each of which comes outfitted with floor to ceiling windows offering views of the city’s skyline or desert landscapes. The resort’s top tier suites feature in-mirror televisions, private balconies, and butler service for a little extra pampering.
With guest rooms starting at $399 and up, here’s a look inside the brand new resort:

Seasoned travelers are pretty familiar with TSA PreCheck, the service that expedites your security experience. Now PreCheck is leveling up with this new initiative designed to make it even faster and more efficient. To help address the rise in passenger numbers without requiring tons of new TSA workers, the Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) created the Screening at Speed Program – a passenger self-screening service that allows PreCheck passengers to complete the screening with almost no assistance from human agents.

High-speed rail in the United States may soon be a reality. The White House recently announced the allocation of $8.2 billion in funding for several key rail projects including a Las Vegas to Los Angeles corridor; a Raleigh, North Carolina to Richmond, Virginia, route; new service throughout California’s central valley; and more. The investment is a component of President Joe Biden’s “Investing in America” Agenda. While high-speed rail has been a popular wish among travelers for many years, the allocation of funding helps put the project in motion, with one administration official sharing with Travel + Leisure that the Las Vegas to Los Angeles route could be completed in advance of the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. “If you’ve ever seen the standard of passenger rail service in Japan, Germany, Spain, or Italy, and come home and wondered, 'Why can’t we have these nice things?’ This is the beginning of the answer to that. Help is on the way,” Pete Buttigieg, the U.S. Secretary of Transportation, told T+L during a press briefing on the announcement. Buttigieg said that the lack of investment in new rail services over the last several decades is a trend that is now being reversed and that while change won’t happen overnight, travelers will see improvements within a few years. Over 35 rail projects were named as part of the funding announcement, including:
