The proposed resort in Rhodes Ranch is to be built along Durango Drive, beside the Las Vegas Beltway. Station first acquired the site about two decades ago, but broke ground on the resort this year. The venue, much larger in scale, will be developed on roughly 50 acres, with an adjacent 21 acres held for sale. Among them is the parcel where the currently under-construction Durango hotel-casino will sit. Station already owns other parcels around Southern Nevada. He has confirmed he is building Wildfire for Station as a contractor, according to Review-Journal.

He developed a 344-unit apartment complex, a mini-storage facility and a building that the Southern Nevada Health District plans to occupy. Thus far, it is known the project will occupy part of the former Castaways site, which the company purchased in 2004: the hotel had been closed for months when Station acquired it, and it was ultimately demolished.īentar Development owner Amador Bengochea, who bought 25 acres of the site from Station in 2018, has ushered in plenty of construction. “As the site is under construction, we will have more details in the coming weeks,” Station Casinos further said.

In a statement Friday, the company said it is “excited to bring a new Wildfire casino with fresh new amenities to the local residents of downtown Las Vegas.” These are typically heavy on slot machines and video poker with casual dining options, mostly catering to locals.

Station, a subsidiary of Red Rock Resorts, already operates 10 Wildfire-branded casinos, including seven in Henderson.

City records retrieved by the cited source show the one-story project will span more than 21,000 square feet and sit on a 5-acre plot of land. It comes as work is already underway on another company project in the Las Vegas Valley -the $750 million Durango Casino & Resort-, but this new, and thus far unnamed project, is set to be much smaller in scale.Īccording to a Las Vegas Review-Journalreport, work crews are now building a Wildfire casino on Fremont Street, just south of Charleston Boulevard, in the downtown area. Casino and hotel company Station Casinos is building a new project in downtown Las Vegas.
