Caesars Virginia to welcome its guests starting December 12
Caesars Virginia announced that its 587,000-square-foot casino resort will be opened on December 12 at 12 pm.
Earlier this year, in August, Caesars Entertainment announced that its Caesars Virginia Casinos would be opened later this year. The reason for the late opening was the bosted game offerings.
Barron Fuller, Regional President for Caesars Entertainment, said:
“We have worked diligently on creating a world-class resort that will offer all the luxurious and modern amenities expected from Caesars that will also serve as an economic driver for Danville and the surrounding region through employment and tourism. We’re so proud of Caesars Virginia and look forward to welcoming guests on December 12.”
The 587,000-square-foot resort offers something for everyone, with more than 90,000 square feet of gaming space filled with nearly 1,500 slot machines, 79 table games, 48 electronic table games, a dedicated WSOP poker room, and a Caesars Sportsbook.
Chris Albrecht, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Caesars Virginia, commented:
“Our property started out with just over 400 Team Members when the temporary facility opened last year, and we are on track to hire more than 1,200 by the time we open our doors in December. Through numerous hiring events in the region, training at facilities in Danville, and overall support from local and state leaders as well as the business community, we are prepared to continue delivering the family-style service that Caesars is known for to our guests in the new, beautiful, destination resort.”
Danville Casino’s temporary facility was opened in May 2023 and, since then, generated more than $66 million.
Principal Chief Michell Hicks of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians said:
“Our partnership with Caesars Virginia marks a significant milestone in the region’s growth, creating jobs and economic opportunities that will benefit both Danville and surrounding communities. The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians is proud to be a part of this exciting new chapter, as this resort represents an impressive investment in hospitality and entertainment. We look forward to building stronger ties within the region and seeing the positive impact Caesars Virginia will have, providing opportunities and experiences that honor the unique spirit and diversity of this area.”
Caesar’s Denville Casino is part of Caesars’ Rewards network, meaning that members can earn credits at the property and redeem them at the company’s portfolio of more than 50 properties.
