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. The resort includes an 83,178 sq ft (7,727.5 m 2) casino, 209 rooms in a 15-story tower, and several restaurants. It is located along Durango Drive, beside the Las Vegas Beltway.
