DANVILLE, Va. – The long-awaited Caesars Virginia casino in Danville will be opening its doors a little later than expected. The casino resort was initially set to open on Dec. 12 but will now open on Tuesday, Dec. 17, at noon. A reason was not provided for the delay.
The excitement will kick off at 10:15 a.m., with a parade of race cars and supercars that will weave through Danville’s streets, starting at the corner of Main and Craghead Street and ending at Caesars Virginia. Dennis Rodman, a five-time NBA champion and the league’s ‘best rebounding forward in NBA history,’ will serve as the parade’s emcee. He is also set to make the ceremonial first bet in Caesars Sportsbook.

Remarks will be delivered at 11 a.m., with doors officially opening at noon. Then at 8 p.m., the celebration will continue with a fireworks and drone show.
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 taxes, according to a press release from Caesars Virginia.
