Caesars Entertainment Celebrates Opening of Danville Casino

The leading gambling and entertainment company, Caesars Entertainment, has announced the opening of Danville Casino. The company revealed that the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the temporary facility, which will be the future home of Caesars in Danville, was attended by hundreds of guests.

In addition to representatives of the casino’s venture partner, the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and Caesars’ officials, Danville’s Mayor, Alonzo Jones and Virginia State Delegate Danny Marshall also attended the opening ceremony.
