The start of construction was at least four years away. In 2004, the company proposed Durango Station, a casino with up to 215,000 sq ft (20,000 m 2), and a 217-foot-tall hotel with 1,000 rooms. Station purchased an additional 30 acres, but later sold 10 acres to a residential developer. The property had been zoned for a neighborhood casino three years earlier, although Station had no imminent plans to develop the site, instead waiting for the general area to develop further. The property is located at the southwest corner of Durango Drive and the Las Vegas Beltway, in the northeast corner of the Rhodes Ranch community. In 2000, developer Jim Rhodes sold 51 acres of land to Station Casinos, for less than $37 million. Durango is expected to be finished by late 2023. In 2021, Station's parent company, Red Rock Resorts, announced plans to proceed with the project once again, with construction set to begin in early 2022. However, before the start of construction, the project was delayed indefinitely due to the Great Recession. The company later announced plans to begin building a scaled-down version of Durango Station in 2009, with an opening in 2011. The project was approved by the Clark County Commission despite the opposition, although Station did not plan to begin construction for several years. The 1,000-room project was met with opposition from area residents, who disagreed with its size and its proposed location near a new elementary school. Four years later, the company announced plans for a hotel-casino, known then as Durango Station. Station Casinos purchased the property from developer Jim Rhodes in 2000. It is to be built along Durango Drive, beside the Las Vegas Beltway.
