LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) - After announcing in August that Station Casinos would open its new resort in the southwest Las Vegas Valley in late November, the company on Tuesday advised that it has pushed back the opening date.

In August, Station Casinos said it would open the doors on Durango Casino & Resort on Monday, Nov. 20. However, according to the company, the property’s opening has now been moved to December 5.
