The new Circa Resort & Casino in downtown Las Vegas is set to open in time for Halloween—two months sooner than its original scheduled date of December 2020.
The new 35-storey resort and casino will feature 777 rooms and suites starting on the eighth floor, a two-storey casino with 1,350 slot machines and 49 table games, a sportsbook that will hold up to 1,000 people, as well as the largest pool amphitheatre in the United States.
“Sometimes life throws you curveballs, and 2020 has been an unpredictable year for the entire world,” CEO and developer Derek Stevens said in a statement. “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.”
Circa Resort & Casino is the first new casino resort built downtown in decades, located on property that had formerly been home to the Las Vegas Club at Fremont and Main streets. The adults-only, 21+ casino resort is a first of its kind in Las Vegas—but the benefits don’t stop at child-free. The prestigious project will pay homage to Las Vegas’ rich history with old school glamour and hospitality, with a special tribute to Vegas Vickie, the most iconic neon sign in Vegas, hanging in the lobby.
In terms of aesthetics, the 777-room resort designed by Steelman Partners and Circa’s Director of Design and Architecture, Alice O’Keefe, will feature a minimalist aesthetic complete with a handful of playful room options, ranging from standard rooms to bunk-bed suites and even in-room wet bars.
Circa Resort & Casino will also be home to an array of both decadent and casual dining experiences, including Saginaw's Delicatessen, Victory Burger & Wings Co, Barry’s Downtown Prime (for steak aficionados), and Project BBQ (a Carolina-style barbecue food truck).
While the resort had originally been set to open for December 2020, the project sets its sights on a Halloween opening with the first five floors and parking garage open to guests as soon as October 28. To find out more or to book your stay, visit the official Circa Resort & Casino website.
