DANVILLE, Va. (WDBJ) - Caesars Virginia announced Thursday its Danville location is set to open December 12 at noon.

According to Caesars Virginia, guests can expect a 587,000-square-foot casino resort with over 90,000 square feet of gaming space, with nearly 1,500 slots, 79 table games, 48 electronic table games, a poker room, and Caesars Sportsbook.

The casino will include a 320-room hotel, 50,000 square feet of meeting and convention space that also serves as a 2,500-seat live entertainment venue, a spa, pool, and multiple bar and dining options, including Ramsay’s Kitchen by Gordon Ramsay.

“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 Barron Fuller, Regional President for Caesars Entertainment. “We’re so proud of Caesars Virginia and look forward to welcoming guests on Dec. 12.”

“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,” said Chris Albrecht, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Caesars Virginia. “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.”

The Danville Casino temporary facility opened in May 2023 and has generated over $66 million to the City of Danville and The Commonwealth in gaming taxes, according to Caesars Virginia.
