Casino-resort Circa to open in downtown Las Vegas in 2020

LAS VEGAS - Downtown Las Vegas will see its first casinoresort built from the ground up in more than three decades when Circa Resort and Casino opens in December 2020, continuing the resurgence of the area’s Fremont Street entertainment district. Details of the planned property that will rise along the historic casino-flanked street were announced Thursday. The owners promised a boldly designed property that will honour the destination’s vibrant history - complete with an iconic cowgirl neon sign in the lobby - and offer modern amenities. “We are going to offer things to do with a lot of fun and excitement, no matter what your age is. We are certainly going to have a bit of a focus on sports, water, sun, and it’s all themed around fun and high energy,” co-owner Derek Stevens told The Associated Press. “We are focusing on a design that is consistent with downtown Las Vegas but all new.” Circa will feature a twolevel casino; a three-level, stadium-style sports book equipped with what they claim is the largest screen in a facility of its kind in Las Vegas; and a multi-tiered pool amphitheatre featuring several pools and another massive screen.
