News release by Caesars Virginia
Caesars Virginia will now be welcoming its first guests on Tuesday, Dec. 17 at noon when doors officially open.
Grand opening festivities will begin at 10:15 a.m. with an exciting parade of race cars and supercars supplied by Virginia International Raceway, Kaizen Autosport and Foreign Cars Italia. The parade route will weave through Danville’s streets, starting at the corner of Main and Craghead Street and ending at Caesars Virginia. The parade’s master of ceremonies is five-time NBA Champion and the league’s “best rebounding forward in NBA history,” Dennis Rodman, who will also make the ceremonial first bet in Caesars Sportsbook.
Beginning at 11 a.m. in the resort’s main entrance, Caesars Entertainment and Eastern Band of Cherokee Indian executives will offer remarks alongside community leaders with doors officially opening at noon. Guests will enjoy a firework and drone show at 8 p.m., lighting the sky above the resort and historic “Three Sisters” smokestacks.
“We know that there is tremendous excitement for our grand opening, and we appreciate everyone’s patience with this short delay,” said Chris Albrecht, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Caesars Virginia. “The Team has been working around the clock to officially open the doors of Caesars Virginia, and we cannot wait to begin welcoming guests on Dec. 17.”
Guests can continue playing at Danville Casino, the temporary facility located in the resort’s parking lot. Since the temporary facility’s opening in May 2023, it has paid more than $66 million to the City of Danville and The Commonwealth in gaming taxes. Caesars Virginia is owned by Caesars Entertainment and venture partners EBCI Holdings and Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.
