Circa Sports expands southern Nevada presence with new sportsbook at The Pass

Circa Sports announced its plan to open a new sportsbook at The Pass Casino in Henderson, Nevada was approved by the state Gaming Control Board Thursday.

Circa CEO Derek Stevens will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony April 29 with The Pass’ owner Joe DeSimone, Henderson mayor Debra March and Henderson city officials.

Circa Sports launched in 2019 and has since taken off as one of downtown Las Vegas’ top sports betting operators. Last October, Circa Resort & Casino opened downtown with a three-story sportsbook including screens with 78 million pixels.

 Circa Sports also operates sportbooks at Golden Gate Hotel & Casino and the D Las Vegas, both owned and operated by Stevens.

Circa Sports has recently expanded outside Stevens’ casino portfolio. The operator launched a mobile sports betting app in Colorado in July 2020. Last month, Circa Sports debuted a location at Tuscany Suites & Casino.

Including The Pass, Circa Sports now operates five retail sportsbooks in southern Nevada.

The Pass opened April 1, taking over what was formerly Eldorado Casino. The property is one of the oldest casinos in southern Nevada, having originally as the Wheel Casino in February, 1961.  

Located in downtown Henderson, The Pass offers live table games and more than 350 slots.
