Las Vegas – Red Rock Resorts, Inc. has reported a significant increase in its net revenue and EBITDA for the second quarter of 2025, positioning the company favorably amid various challenges in the Las Vegas market. The company’s Q2 net revenue reached $513.3 million, marking a year-over-year growth of 6.2%, while its adjusted EBITDA was reported at $239.4 million, up 7.3% from the previous year.
The growth in financial performance is attributed largely to the sustained demand in the Las Vegas locals market. Following the release of the earnings report, Red Rock’s stock surged by 8%, recording the largest single-day gain in the company’s 49-year history. Management expressed optimism about future growth, particularly spotlighting the performance of the recently opened Durango Casino & Resort, which has attracted 108,000 new customers since its debut in December 2023.
Despite ongoing concerns regarding market cannibalization effects on existing properties, Durango is anticipated to yield a net return exceeding 15%. The stabilization of this new property has been bolstered by revenue support from the Red Rock Casino located in Summerlin, suggesting potential revenue smoothing that could benefit overall company performance.
In terms of cash flow generation, Red Rock Resorts converted 54% of its adjusted EBITDA into operating free cash flow, totaling $124.3 million or $1.18 per share. Cumulatively, year-to-date free cash flow reached $217.3 million, translating to $2.06 per share. The robustness of cash flow has allowed the company to revise its capital expenditure forecast for 2025 downward by $25 million, placing it now between $325 million to $375 million.
Among significant reinvestment initiatives, Red Rock has earmarked $200 million for enhancements to Green Valley Ranch and $53 million for Sunset Station. All ongoing projects are reportedly proceeding on schedule and within budget, further underscoring the company’s strategic investment approach. These developments, along with strong performance across all business lines, have contributed to the highest quarterly net revenue and adjusted EBITDA figures in the company’s history.
Particularly noteworthy is the performance in the gaming segment, which has seen record profitability, alongside nearly record revenue and profitability levels in the hotel and food and beverage divisions. The company’s total principal debt stands at $3.4 billion, with a net debt of $3.3 billion, reflecting a net debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 3.96x.
As Red Rock Resorts continues on its growth trajectory, management points to demographic growth in the Las Vegas Valley as a key factor driving ongoing strong performance. The company has also returned $189 million to shareholders year-to-date through mechanisms such as debt reduction, dividends, and share repurchases, indicating their commitment to shareholder value.
Nevertheless, ongoing construction projects at Durango, Sunset Station, and Green Valley Ranch may lead to short-term disruptions; however, the expected financial contributions from these developments are poised to reinforce Red Rock’s market position and future growth. Overall, the Durango Casino Resort is identified as a central element in the company’s strategy moving forward, essential for bolstering its financial outlook and operational success in the Las Vegas market.
