Grand opening festivities will begin at 10:15 a.m. with an exciting parade of racecars supplied by Virginia International Raceway, Kaizen Autosport and Foreign Cars Italia.
The parade will weave through Danville’s streets starting at the corner of Main and Craghead St. and ending at Caesars Virginia.
The parade’s “Master of Ceremonies” will be five-time NBA Champion Dennis Rodman, who will also make the ceremonial first bet.
Then at 11 a.m. at the resort’s main entrance, Caesars Entertainment and Eastern Band of Cherokee Indian executives will offer remarks alongside community leaders before doors open at noon.
There will also be a drone and firework show at 8 p.m. lighting the sky above the resort and historic “Three Sisters” Smokestack.
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, Caesars Virginia said.
