The opening of the Danville Casino is a monumental step forward for us, and we are excited to begin welcoming guests on May 15.”
The permanent Caesars Virginia is due to open towards the end of 2024. It will include a 500-room hotel and a casino floor with more than 1,300 slots, 85 table games, 24 electronic tables, a WSOP poker room, and a Caesars Sportsbook. The resort will additionally feature 40,000 square feet of customizable convention space, numerous restaurants and bars, and a 2,500-seat concert venue.
