During a community open house held last week at Red Rock Resort, Station Casinos announced plans to break ground on Durango Station next year, leading to an opening in 2011.

The resort will open with a 201-room hotel tower, a casino, meeting space, movie theater and 190,000-square-foot shopping complex. A second phase would bring 525 more rooms.

Station has not released estimated costs for the project.

The shopping center will be the first large-scale retail development the company has undertaken. It is currently working to finalize a joint-operating venture to develop and operate the shopping center.
