Caesars Entertainment is set to open its new 587,000-square-foot casino resort in Virginia next month.
The new venue boasts more than 90,000-square feet of gaming space and will host nearly 1,500 slot games, 79 live table games and 48 electronic table games, as well as a World Series of Poker poker room and Caesars Sportsbook.
This new resort is owned by Caesars Entertainment in partnership with EBCI Holdings and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.
“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,” said Caesars Entertainment regional president Barron Fuller.
“We’re so proud of Caesars Virginia and look forward to welcoming guests on 12 December.”
Chris Albrecht, SVP 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.”
Michell Hicks, principal chief of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, added: “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 honour the unique spirit and diversity of this area.”
