Henderson Casino-Hotel to Undergo $87M Upgrade as Red Rock Resorts Posts Record Results

Sunset Station, a 28-year-old Red Rock Resorts property, will see major renovations in the next 4 months.

Published on Feb. 10, 2026

Red Rock Resorts, the Las Vegas-based locals casino giant, announced plans for an $87 million investment to renovate its 28-year-old, 448-room Sunset Station casino-hotel in Henderson. The upgrade comes as the company reported record quarterly net revenue and cash flow for the ninth consecutive quarter, driven by strong performance from its high-end customers.

Why it matters

The planned renovations at Sunset Station are part of Red Rock's strategy to strengthen its competitive position and broaden customer appeal in the growing Henderson market, particularly as new master-planned communities like Ascaya and Cadence are expected to add over 12,500 new households. This investment highlights the company's focus on catering to its high-end customer base, which has been a key driver of its recent success.

The details

The Sunset Station renovation will include an expansion and enhancement of the property's movie theaters, as well as the relocation of the bingo area to a new permanent high-end steakhouse and high-limit table games room. Red Rock is using a similar growth strategy at its Durango property in southwest Las Vegas, having recently opened a high-limit slot machine room and a 2,000-space parking garage, with plans for a $385 million second expansion.

  • The $87 million Sunset Station renovation is scheduled to begin within the next 4 months and be completed in early 2027.
  • Red Rock Resorts reported record quarterly net revenue and cash flow for the 9th consecutive quarter in Q4 2026.

“I had the pleasure of touring the properties on Sunday and walking with the general managers and … I can tell you there's no better place to be on Super Bowl weekend than a Station Casino property. We had every property fully programmed, whether it was the bars, the VIP part, and we had decent results from a betting perspective and even better from a gaming perspective on slots and food and beverage. If there was any slowdown elsewhere, it wasn't on our properties.”
