Rejoice, Southwest Las Vegas! New Costco Location Is Coming
Having moved to the southwest Las Vegas valley in 2006, it was pretty much a blank slate. Restaurants? Well, there was a Carl’s Jr. Shopping? Yeah, sure a little bit. But not nearly as much as Summerlin and Henderson has. But patience has paid off. The southwest valley is booming and the latest evidence is clear: Costco is opening a new location there.
Yes, at long last people in Rhodes Ranch and Mountain’s Edge won’t roll their eyes seeing they are smack dab in the middle of the Summerlin and St. Rose locations. According to the RJ and county records, the new location would go at 215 and Buffalo, a brief 1 minute drive from Sam’s Club. There’ll be a gas station and there’ll barely be enough parking spaces. You know, like a real Costco.
The only bummer news is while the project is expected to go forward this year, there is no particularly definite time when it will open.
Costco isn’t the only new thing coming to Southwest Las Vegas
In just the last few years, things have been poppin’ in the southwest. Ikea set up shop. Durango Casino is finally open after years of teasing us with that sign. The Uncommons offers up some delicious dining and a cute little live-work-play environment. Well, there is more in the pipeline.
Ashley Furniture is planning a location across from Ikea at the 215/Durango curve. Life Time Fitness is, as far as we understand, still planning on opening.
Then there is The Bend. The entertainment destination is expected to open this year with everything from indoor pickleball to more delicious dining (the southwest is getting a Freed’s!) Sure, that project was supposed to feature a movie theater, but it appears as though that has fallen through.
But fear not! Durango Casino is reportedly in talks to fast track phase 2 of their property, which would include a movie theater, bowling and more.
It took a while, southwest. But your time has come. We are the next to get Kirkland’s signature of approval.
