The Vegas-based company is building a $650 million resort around the temporary tent casino.

'With what we're already seeing today, I think it gives a great indication that's going to be a fantastic story as we move forward,' Albrecht said.Under a temporary white tent, guests will find the dancing lights and scrolling screens of 740 gaming machines, 25 live table games and eight sports betting kiosks. 'We're really going to hit the ground running when we get into 2024, and we're going back out to colleges and universities and doing job fairs and also a lot of hiring events in the city and the surrounding areas,' Albrecht said.Īlbrecht says the temporary casino has exceeded their expectations, and when people check out the permanent one, it's going to be a game-changer for Caesars and Danville. Albrecht says they need two and a half to three times more than they have now. It will be a much grander operation, it also means they'll need more employees to help support it. The temporary casino is 40,000 square feet and the permanent one will be 90,000 square feet.

The permanent casino will have more than 1,400 slot machines, about 80 table games, 7 restaurants, and much more.Īlbrecht also says that the crews have already put down the casino floor and they've made it up to the 11th floor of the 12-story hotel.

Albrecht says construction is going great and they're on track to open late next year.
