“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,” Caesars Regional President Barron Fuller said.

The opening of Caesars Virginia follows the temporary facility, Danville Casino, that had been opened in May 2023 prior to full launch. According to Caesars, the facility has paid more than $66m in gaming taxes to Danville and the Commonwealth since being made available to customers.

“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.”
