We’ve been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Circa Resort & Casino since the debut property was announced in early 2019. It’s a new-build, 44-story resort with 777 rooms on Fremont Street in. The best example is the expansion of the Las Vegas Convention Center from its home near Paradise and Desert Inn toward the Strip with a new futuristic West Hall set to open by December 2020 (just.

The wait is over. We now know the name of the new resort being built by Derek and Greg Stevens, owners of The D and Golden Gate.

Drum roll, please. Take a look at Circa Resort & Casino!

• New details on Resorts World Las Vegas were released this week by developer Genting Group, the most significant being that the $4.3 billion integrated casino resort is reining in its Asian theme.
• Resorts World Las Vegas is designed to electrify the senses in every conceivable way – with talk-of-the-town nightlife, irresistible, globally inspired cuisine and mixology, star-studded residency performances.

The new hotel-casino is scheduled to open in 2020 and sits on the site of the former Las Vegas Club.

Derek Stevens said, “There is a lot of unmet demand for fun in Las Vegas. At Circa, our goal will be to create a destination resort in a historic part of the city, while showing guests the time of their lives. We plan to double down on the world-class service Las Vegas has always been known for while bringing personalized experiences to a new level.”

From the looks of the place, he’s not kidding!

Over the last few years, the Stevens have collaborated on several ventures, including the D Las Vegas (formerly Fitzgerald’s), Golden Gate Hotel & Casino and the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center.

The Stevens have played an integral role in reshaping downtown Las Vegas, attracting new visitors and taking part in a recent wave of announcement projects, including a new hotel tower coming to Fremont Hotel & Casino and another at Downtown Grand, a block off Fremont Street Experience.

These projects, coupled with the overhaul of the Fremont Street Experience Viva Vision canopy (to debut New Year’s Eve 2019) and Project Enchilada, and other initiatives, have made downtown Las Vegas the epicenter for where Vegas is going in 2019 and beyond!

So, why Circa Resort & Casino?

The name serves to bridge the past and future, paying homage to the city’s vibrant history while looking toward the future, including modern luxuries and cutting-edge technology.

Circa is all about giving a nod to old-school Vegas hospitality, for which the first gambling halls on Fremont Street were known, while ushering in what’s next for downtown and Las Vegas.

A stand-out signature offering at Circa Las Vegas will be the multi-level, stadium-style sportsbook decked out with the biggest screen in sportsbook history. In Vegas, it’s go big or go home!

Another dazzling feature of Circa will be its multi-tiered pool amphitheater, called Stadium Swim, with several pools and a massive screen, offering a unique watch party atmosphere for sunseekers and sports fans.

Finally, Vegas aficionados will be thrilled to hear the opening of Circa will mark the return of a Vegas icon, Vegas Vickie. The classic sign that once sat atop Glitter Gulch will now grace Circa’s lobby.

We can’t wait to see Circa Las Vegas spring to life, and you can be sure we’ll be sharing the construction progress as it unfolds.
