Southwest Las Vegas
One of the fastest-growing corners of the valley — new dining, shopping, and entertainment arriving every year, alongside some of the best master-planned communities in Las Vegas. Here's what's happening and where to look.
What's New in Southwest Las Vegas
The area around the 215 Beltway and Durango Drive has changed fast over the last couple of years. Here's a quick rundown of what's open, under construction, or on the way.
Durango Casino & Resort Expansion
Station Casinos has broken ground on a roughly $385 million expansion of the Durango Casino & Resort, adding a bowling alley, movie theaters, additional gaming space, and more family-friendly entertainment. It's expected to open in phases, with a full buildout targeted for 2027 — a big addition to the neighborhood's day-to-day amenities.
The Bend
A new dining, shopping, and entertainment complex taking shape near Durango and the 215, The Bend is bringing in restaurants, retail, and recreation (including pickleball) as new tenants continue to open. It's quickly becoming a gathering spot for the surrounding neighborhoods.
Costco — Buffalo Drive
A new Costco warehouse near S. Buffalo Drive and the 215 has opened to big crowds, giving southwest residents a closer option for everyday shopping without the drive across town.
IKEA Las Vegas
Las Vegas's first full-size IKEA opened in the southwest valley (near Durango and the 215), giving the area a major home-goods destination that wasn't here even a couple of years ago.
UnCommons
A walkable mixed-use development with office space, apartments, restaurants, and retail built around a central green space — UnCommons has become one of the more distinctive gathering spots in the southwest valley.
Featured Communities
A few of the established, master-planned communities I work in most often throughout Southwest Las Vegas.

A golf-course community built around the Rhodes Ranch Golf Club, with a mix of single-family homes, guard-gated sections, parks, and a community center. It's a popular choice for buyers who want mature landscaping and an established feel.
