MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of the Financial Condition and Results of Operations (the “MD&A”) of Red Rock Resorts, Inc. (“we,” “our,” “us,” “Red Rock” or the “Company”) is intended to help the reader understand the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes (the “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”) included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Overview

Red Rock was formed as a Delaware corporation in 2015 to own an indirect equity interest in and manage Station Casinos LLC (“Station LLC”), a Nevada limited liability company. Station LLC is a gaming, development and management company established in 1976 that owns and operates seven major gaming and entertainment facilities and 16 smaller gaming properties (three of which are 50% owned) in the Las Vegas regional market.

We own all of the outstanding voting interests in Station LLC and have an indirect equity interest in Station LLC through our ownership of limited liability company interests in Station Holdco LLC (“Station Holdco,” and such interests, “LLC Units”), which owns all of the economic interests in Station LLC. At June 30, 2026, we held 59% of the economic interests and 100% of the voting power in Station Holdco, subject to certain limited exceptions, and we are designated as the sole managing member of both Station Holdco and Station LLC. We control and operate all of the business and affairs of Station Holdco and Station LLC, and conduct all of our operations through these entities. Other than assets and liabilities related to income taxes and the tax receivable agreement, our only material assets are our equity interest in Station Holdco, our voting interest in Station LLC and a note receivable from Station LLC. We have no operations outside of our management of Station Holdco and Station LLC.

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the consolidation of Station LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries, and Station Holdco. The financial position and results of operations attributable to LLC Units we do not own are reported separately as noncontrolling interest.

Our principal source of revenue and operating income is gaming. Our non-gaming offerings include restaurants, hotels and other entertainment amenities. Approximately 80% of our casino revenue is generated from slot play. The majority of our revenue is cash-based and as a result, fluctuations in our revenues have a direct impact on our cash flows from operations. Because our business is capital intensive, we rely heavily on the ability of our properties to generate operating cash flow to repay debt financing and fund capital expenditures.

A significant portion of our business is dependent upon customers who live and/or work in the Las Vegas metropolitan area. In June 2026, the unemployment rate in the Las Vegas metropolitan area was 5.2% as compared to 5.8% in June 2025. Statewide, the unemployment rate for June 2026 was 5.1% as compared to 5.4% in June 2025. In June 2026, the median price of an existing single-family home in Las Vegas according to the Las Vegas Realtors® was $490,000, up 1.0% from $485,000 in June 2025. Given the ongoing economic uncertainty driven by inflation, heightened interest rates, increased geo-political and regional uncertainty and conflicts, and the current administration’s approach to regulation and oversight, it is difficult to predict whether the trends in unemployment or housing prices in the Las Vegas area will continue.

We have continued to experience favorable customer trends in carded slot play, spend per visit and net theoretical win across the majority of our properties. These trends, in combination with our operational discipline and our focus on our core local guests, as well as regional and out of town guests, continued to drive consistent operating results in 2026. However, we cannot predict whether these trends will continue, nor can we predict the extent to which impacts of inflation, interest rate fluctuations and other economic uncertainties may affect our business in the future.

Information about our results of operations is included herein and in the notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Key Performance Indicators

We use certain key indicators to measure our performance.

Gaming revenue measures:

•Slot handle, table game drop and race and sports write are measures of volume. Slot handle represents the dollar amount wagered in slot machines, and table game drop represents the total amount of cash and net markers issued that are deposited in table game drop boxes.

•Win represents the amount of wagers retained by us.

•Hold represents win as a percentage of slot handle, table game drop or race and sports write.

As our customers are primarily Las Vegas residents, our hold percentages are generally consistent from period to period. Fluctuations in our casino revenue are primarily due to the volume and spending levels of customers at our properties.

Food and beverage revenue measures:

•Average guest check is a measure of food sales volume and product offerings at our restaurants, and represents the average amount spent per customer visit.

•Number of guests served is an indicator of volume.

Room revenue measures:

•Occupancy is calculated by dividing occupied rooms, including complimentary rooms, by rooms available.

•Average daily rate (“ADR”) is calculated by dividing room revenue, which includes the retail value of complimentary rooms, by rooms occupied, including complimentary rooms.

•Revenue per available room is calculated by dividing room revenue by rooms available.

We view each of our Las Vegas casino properties as an individual operating segment.

We also aggregate our Native American arrangements into one reportable segment. The results of operations for our Native American segment are discussed in the

ITEM 7.     MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data within this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Overview

Red Rock was formed as a Delaware corporation in 2015 to own an indirect equity interest in, and manage, Station Casinos LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Station LLC”). Station LLC is a gaming, development and management company established in 1976 that owns and operates seven major gaming and entertainment facilities and 13 smaller casinos (three of which are 50% owned) in the Las Vegas regional market. As of December 31, 2025, we offered 16,553 slot machines, 328 table games and 2,734 hotel rooms in the Las Vegas market.

We own all of the outstanding voting interests in Station LLC and have an indirect equity interest in Station LLC through our ownership of limited liability company interests in Station Holdco (“LLC Units”), which owns all of the economic interests in Station LLC. At December 31, 2025, we held 59% of the economic interests and 100% of the voting power in Station Holdco, subject to certain limited exceptions, and we are designated as the sole managing member of both Station Holdco and Station LLC. We control and operate all of the business and affairs of Station Holdco and Station LLC, and conduct all of our operations through these entities. Other than assets and liabilities related to income taxes and the tax receivable agreement, our only material assets are our equity interest in Station Holdco, our voting interest in Station LLC and a note receivable from Station LLC. We have no operations outside of our management of Station Holdco and Station LLC.

Our Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the consolidation of Station LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries, and Station Holdco. The financial position and results of operations attributable to LLC Units we do not own are reported separately as noncontrolling interest.

Our principal source of revenue and operating income is gaming. Our non-gaming offerings include restaurants, hotels and other entertainment amenities. Approximately 80% of our casino revenue is generated from slot play. The majority of our revenue is cash-based and, as a result, fluctuations in our revenues have a direct impact on our cash flows from operations. Because our business is capital intensive and we utilize debt to fund many of our capital initiatives, we rely heavily on the ability of our properties to generate operating cash flow to repay debt financing and fund capital expenditures.

A significant portion of our business is dependent upon customers who live and/or work in the Las Vegas metropolitan area. As of December 2025, the unemployment rate in the Las Vegas metropolitan area was 5.2%, down from 5.9% in December 2024. Statewide, the unemployment rate for December 2025 was 5.2%, as compared to 5.7% in December 2024. The median price of an existing single-family home in Las Vegas was $470,000 at December 31, 2025, down 1.1% as compared to December 31, 2024, according to the Las Vegas Realtors®. In addition, the Las Vegas metropolitan area population continues to grow, posting a 1.6% growth rate in 2025 over the prior year. In light of uncertainty in the economic outlook stemming from inflation, higher interest rates, increased geo-political and regional conflicts, and the current administration’s view of the regulatory environment and agencies, we cannot predict whether the trends in unemployment, housing prices or population growth in the Las Vegas area will continue.

We have continued to experience favorable customer trends, including strong carded slot play and robust visitation and net theoretical win across the majority of our properties. These trends, in combination with our operational discipline and our focus on our core local guests, as well as regional and out of town guests, continued to drive strong operating results in 2025. However, we cannot predict whether these trends will continue, nor can we predict the extent to which the impacts of inflation and interest rate fluctuations may affect our business in the future.
