This year's biggest dining news near Durango Drive and the 215 has been about replacement. At Durango Casino & Resort, Villa's Tacos opened on August 15, 2026, in the Eat Your Heart Out stall that used to be Fiorella Pasta Bar. At UnCommons, Stix Asia is being built in the 18,000-square-foot space where The Sundry food hall used to be.
Both halls have now been through a reset, and they did it in different ways. Durango changes one stall at a time and keeps the hall open around it. UnCommons closed its whole hall, left the space empty for more than two years, and is starting over with a new operator. Each approach tells you something about what will open around Enterprise over the next year.
A Stall Swap That Showed Up in County Records First
Fiorella was a project from chef Marc Vetri. It opened with Durango in December 2023 and served its last meal on March 27, 2026. Station Casinos called the closing "part of the larger food and beverage strategy for the property and evaluating the offerings within the food hall," and said a replacement would be announced soon.
The next tenant was hinted at before anyone named it. When the closing was announced in February, Clark County building records already showed a permit under review for an "interior tenant improvement from Italian restaurant to Mexican restaurant."
That Mexican restaurant turned out to be Villa's Tacos, Victor Villa's Los Angeles taqueria. It has a Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition, and the Durango stall is its first shop outside California. A mariachi band played at the August 15 opening. The menu is built on freshly pressed blue corn tortillas, which Durango's directory says are made to order. They come with four mesquite-grilled meats: chicken thighs, skirt steak, marinated pork, and pork chorizo. You can order them as queso tacos or as mulitas. There are three vegan options, made with potatoes, pineapple and onion, or black beans with cactus salad. For a first visit, Villa told Eater he recommends the Villa's Trio, which is one asada, one chorizo con papa, and one black bean con pollo taco, plus an order of al pastor.
What Has Stayed Through Nearly Three Years
Durango opened on December 5, 2023. Its official Eat Your Heart Out directory, updated at the end of September 2026, lists these stalls:
- Villa's Tacos, the August newcomer.
- Irv's Burgers, a Los Angeles burger stand with a 50-year history. It's open 9 a.m. to midnight Sunday through Thursday and 9 a.m. to 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday.
- Prince Street Pizza, known for its Soho Square pepperoni slice.
- Ai Pono Café, chef Gene Villiatora's Hawaii street food, including Ahi Tuna Katsu and Da "Roots" plate.
- Yu-Or-Mi Sushi, which expanded from Downtown Las Vegas.
- Shang Artisan Noodle, serving handmade Chinese noodles.
- Nielsen's Frozen Custard, the Henderson custard shop.
- Oyster Bar, Station's open-all-night seafood counter.
- Vesta Coffee, from the Las Vegas roaster.
- DRNK, the central bar known for frozen drinks.
Most of this lineup was in the original announcement. Uncle Paulie's was also on that original roster, but it isn't in the current directory, and no published report gives a date for its departure. So the documented changes are small. In close to three years, one stall has been publicly swapped, and every other current vendor except Villa's Tacos was there from the start.
UnCommons Took the Other Route
The Sundry opened at UnCommons, 6840 Helen Toland Street, on June 12, 2023, and closed on June 22, 2024. Its first roster included Kowbird, BarZotto, Bar Oysterette, Dhaba Ji, Kávos Coastal Greek Grill, Easy Slider, Happy Hoagie, Petite Peso, B.S. Taqueria, and Mizunara. The lineup changed several times in that one year. Smitten and Mizunara left, Soulbelly joined in March 2024, and on the last day the vendors were Center Bar, Messina, Easy Sliders, Mabel's, Calle, and Deo. UnCommons and Table One gave no reason for closing.
The space has been empty for more than two years, and the hall coming next is very different. Stix Asia began in 2023 on the lower level of the Waikiki Shopping Plaza in Honolulu, and Las Vegas will be its first mainland location. Construction began in April 2026. The plan calls for about 12 independent vendors, seating for about 400, live cooking stations, and an outdoor patio.
Here's what has been confirmed and what hasn't as of October 1, 2026.
Announced
- Three vendors: Ginza Bairin, Ramen Bario, and Nanamusubi. All three started in Tokyo and also operate at the original Stix in Honolulu.
- Nanamusubi was founded by Kazuto Kutami in Tokyo in 2016.
- UnCommons' listing for Stix Asia shows daily hours of 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. That listing went up in 2025, so the hours may still change before opening day.
Still open questions
- The other nine or so vendors haven't been named.
- There's no firm opening date. A 2025 announcement quoted on the Stix Asia Las Vegas site said early 2026. In July 2026, Las Vegas Weekly reported a fall opening. The Review-Journal said "winter 2026" on September 17, and What Now Las Vegas said "later this year" on October 1.
The best way to track Stix is through its vendor announcements. Each new name means another stall is close to ready, and right now nine or so are still unannounced.
Durango's Next Additions Are Already Under Construction
Durango has a larger change coming beyond single stall swaps. In October 2025, Station Casinos announced a 275,000-square-foot North Phase expansion with more restaurant concepts and food hall outlets. Construction was set to start in January 2026 and take about 18 months. That schedule puts completion around mid-2027. The resort's expansion page says "New Amenities Coming in 2027." It lists about 400 more slot machines, a 36-lane bowling center, luxury movie theaters, and Moonshine Flats, a two-story, 29,000-square-foot venue from San Diego with a stage, a dance floor, and an outdoor patio with a fireplace. The resort says all current amenities will stay open during construction.
The Review-Journal noted that Eat Your Heart Out sits on the north side of the property, the same side as the expansion. It also reported that the North Phase includes three new restaurants that haven't been revealed yet. Station described Fiorella's closing as part of reviewing what the food hall offers. With a building permit filed before the announcement and a replacement open within five months, the Fiorella swap is the clearest example of how Durango handles change. The 2027 restaurants are likely to follow the same pattern, with the names appearing late and the spaces planned well ahead.
The Coffee Shops Use the Same Names
Coffee in the area follows the same overlap. Vesta Coffee Roasters already has a stall at Durango. Jerad Howard founded Vesta in 2015 as a micro-roasting project, and its flagship café in the Las Vegas Arts District opened in 2016. Vesta's fifth shop is now being built at 7120 Blue Diamond Road, Suite A-100, at Blue Diamond and Rainbow, and is expected to open before the end of 2026. Better Buzz Coffee Roasters, a Southern California chain, opened nearby at 7120 S. Rainbow Boulevard on May 27, 2026. Once Vesta opens, both brands will be at the Blue Diamond and Rainbow intersection.
On a fall weekday, the area already gives you three options. You can get a Villa's Trio at Eat Your Heart Out, have custard at Nielsen's, or grab a Vesta latte. When Stix Asia opens, its posted hours run from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
If you live in Enterprise, a new place to eat nearby also tells you how the area around your home is changing. Cintia Ayala follows these openings and expansions across the southwest valley and is happy to talk them through in English or Spanish. Wherever you are in your plans, from wondering what Durango's 2027 expansion means for your block to just wanting to know your home's value, Let's Connect.
