Gaming Commission Chairman John Moran Jr. said he was happy to lend his support to the opening the casino, which will debut around two months before the rest of the hotel, as it would provide a boost to Las Vegas and to Nevada.
Gaming Commissioner Deborah J. Fuetsch added: “In a crazy year like 2020, this is a positive. Something new and exciting is what we need down in Las Vegas.”
Circa CEO Derek Stevens said: “Circa is about moments and we’re going to create moments. Sometimes life throws you curveballs, and 2020 has been an unpredictable year for the entire world. However, thanks to the creativity and ingenuity from our partners at McCarthy Building Companies Inc. and Tré Builders, we can move forward on this accelerated path and have an opening unlike Las Vegas has experienced. We are excited to see what the future holds and to give visitors and locals something to celebrate.”
Previously slated for a December 2020 launch, the 1.25m sq ft integrated casino-resort will open with its first five floors of amenities and state-of-the-art parking hub – Garage Mahal – ahead of schedule. Upon completion, the resort will have approximately 1,000 employees.
Circa, is located on Freemont Street, on the site of the old Las Vegas Club, and will have 777 rooms, a 35-story hotel tower and a casino that includes a three-story sportsbook. It’s show stopping attraction is the world’s largest sportsbook with a three-story, stadium-style place, boasting a 78m pixel high-definition screen that will be viewable throughout Circa’s two-story casino with a capacity to host up to 1,000 guests.
The two-story casino will feature 1,350 slot machines and 49 table games, while the three-story, stadium-style sportsbook will have a 78-million-pixel high-definition screen, viewable throughout the casino, with the capacity to host up to 1,000 guests.
