After much anticipation, Caesars Virginia, a full-scale resort, officially welcomed its first guests at noon on December 17, 2024, marking a significant milestone in transforming Danville's entertainment landscape.
Located in historic Danville, Virginia, this 587,000 square foot casino resort is a partnership between Caesars Entertainment, EBCI Holdings, and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. The resort offers a vast array of amenities, making it a destination for both leisure and business travellers.
The resort boasts a 500-room hotel, an extensive gaming floor with over 1,300 slots and 85 live table games, a WSOP poker room, a Caesars Sportsbook, a full-service spa, a pool, high-quality bars and restaurants, a 2,500-seat theater, and 40,000 square feet of meeting space.
Caesars Virginia employs about 1,200 people, a significant increase from the temporary casino's 400, and attracts around 175,000 monthly visitors, significantly boosting local economic activity.
The resort is part of the Caesars Rewards network, allowing members to earn and redeem Reward Credits at over 50 Caesars Entertainment properties. World-class dining options, including Ramsay's Kitchen and 500 Block Food Hall, are available for guests to enjoy.
