Bel-Aire Backyard Overview
In a recent development at the Durango Hotel and Casino, the pool area has been aptly named the “Bel-Aire Backyard”. This new addition promises a tranquil resort pool ambiance, complete with private cabanas and an expansive event lawn. As a distinguished property of Station Casino, Durango, like its sister properties in Las Vegas, remains committed to catering primarily to the local clientele.
The Bel-Aire Backyard is poised to offer Durango area residents a sumptuous resort pool experience, paralleling the ambiance and amenities of Las Vegas’s premier hotel pool decks.
Envisioned as a verdant, tropical retreat, the Bel-Aire Backyard will serve as a haven away from the bustling casino floor. Adorned with statuesque palm trees and meticulously groomed shrubbery, VIP guests can indulge in the luxury of upscale cabanas and expansive daybeds.

are locals admitted free to use the pool and order from the above menu??
Hi Barbara, unfortunately locals are required to purchase a day pass in order to gain access to the pool deck. Weekday rate is $30 and the weekend rate is $50.00 Guests must be 21 or older in order to purchase a day pass. Sorry I do not have better news for you. The pool area really is a nice place to spend some time, so it still might be worth checking out even with a day pass charge. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.
Hi Mike, for those who buy a day pass – but don’t get the cabana or lily pad – are there lounge chairs to claim, set up, and have a spot to chill?
So sorry for the delay in responding to your question. Yes, guests who purchase a day pass are allowed to use the free loungers which are located both in and around the pool. If all of those chairs are full you may be fortunate enough to find an empty bar stool. There is also a grassy area behind the pool deck which is available to you if you are just looking for a place to lay down for a awhile. I hope this helps you out. Enjoy your trip.
