Durango Casino & Resort, Palace Station, Red Rock Casino, and Green Valley Ranch will each host colorful lion dance performances to welcome the Year of the Fire Horse, according to the announcement.
These aren‘t just quick photo ops either – the traditional dances start with a blessing ceremony and then wind through the entire casino floor. It’s the kind of cultural celebration that brings good fortune and prosperity to everyone who witnesses it, making it perfect for both locals looking for something different and visitors wanting to experience authentic traditions.

When and Where to Catch the Action
Palace Station kicks things off first with their celebration on Sunday, January 22 at 7 p.m. The lion dance begins at the North Valet entrance and moves throughout the property. It's the earliest celebration of the bunch, so mark your calendar if you want to be among the first to welcome the Fire Horse.
The other three properties synchronize their celebrations for Thursday, January 26 at 6 p.m. Durango Resort starts theirs at the Hotel Valet area, while Red Rock Casino begins at Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill right off the casino floor. Green Valley Ranch launches their performance from the High Limit Table Games area, which should create quite the spectacle for players and spectators alike.
Perfect Timing for Vegas Visitors
The timing couldn‘t be better for anyone planning a Vegas weekend. You can easily catch multiple celebrations if you’re staying centrally located – though honestly, one lion dance performance is magical enough to make your entire trip memorable. Each property also features colorful decorative elements throughout the celebration period, so even if you miss the actual dance, you'll still get that festive Lunar New Year atmosphere.
Station Casinos has a solid track record with cultural celebrations, and their diverse dining options at each property mean you can make a full evening of it. Whether you're a local wanting to experience something new or a visitor hoping to witness authentic traditions, these lion dance celebrations offer a beautiful way to welcome the Year of the Fire Horse with good fortune and community spirit.
