Upon opening in late 2023 at the new Durango Casino & Resort in southwest Las Vegas, the restaurant will offer lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch services with both indoor and outdoor dining options.

It includes Cali-style tacos, fresh salads and vegetable plates, housemade pasta and pizzas crafted with California-milled flour, entrees from the live-fire wood grill, and more.

The Market, positioned at the front of the restaurant, will provide to-go coffee, juices, and light breakfast items alongside Summer House's signature baked goods, pastries, and famous oversized cookies. Currently, Summer House has full-service locations in Chicago, IL, North Bethesda, MD, airport locations in Chicago, Charlotte, NC, and Orlando, FL, and will open an additional full-service location in late 2023 at Disney Springs in Lake Buena Vista, FL alongside the new Las Vegas location.
