What’s on in Las Vegas: New Hotels, Restaurants, and More

Durango Casino & Resort

Opened in December within southwest Las Vegas’ Rhodes Ranch community, Station Casinos’ 17th property features architecture by local firm Friedmutter Group. Interior spaces come courtesy of Studio Munge (Mijo restaurant [shown], whose hues and textures nod to the agave plant; and Wax Rabbit, a speakeasy designed around the Mexican folklore tale of 400 divine rabbits—offspring of the goddess of the agave plant and god of pulque); LA-based Avenue Interior Design (signature steakhouse Nicco’s, where walnut burl wood panels and warm brass accents join plush fabrics and ambient lighting); and Dallas-based Looney & Associates, which envisioned a modern desert aesthetic that complements city and mountain views from the floor-to-ceiling windows.
