Las Vegas, NV –
Today, CEO and developer Derek Stevens announced that his
highly anticipated integrated gaming resort Circa Resort &
Casino has reached the halfway mark in its 22-month
construction process.
On
track for a December 2020 opening, the project will be the first ground-up
gaming resort in historic Downtown Las Vegas since 1980.
“Reaching
this milestone for Circa would not be possible without our incredible partners
and construction team,” said Stevens.

“Today
we not only celebrate this exciting moment in Circa’s journey, but those who
have helped us bring the project to life. I’m proud to deliver something
completely new to the Las Vegas experience and can’t wait to open our doors a
year from now for everyone to enjoy it.”
Located
on the iconic Fremont Street Experience, Circa will honor the timeless spirit
of Las Vegas while leading the charge for a bold new era with game-changing
offerings.

Merging
old-school Las Vegas hospitality with cutting-edge design and technology, Circa
will feature first-class amenities, nonstop entertainment, advanced hotel
technology and attentive customer service. Circa’s offerings will include the
following:
· World’s
Largest Sportsbook – Operated by Stevens’ sports betting venture Circa Sports, the resort’s centerpiece will deliver
the best sports-watching experience in Vegas and beyond. Sports fans can enjoy
three levels of action taking place on a 78-million-pixel high-definition
screen – the largest sportsbook screen in history – while receiving some of the
friendliest sportsbook customer service in town.
The Vegas Stats and
Information Network (VSiN) will have its own on-site studio offering bettors
in-depth analysis from a roster of experts including broadcasters, industry
professionals and athletes.
· Rooftop
Pool Amphitheater – Capitalizing on the sunny Las Vegas weather, one
of Circa’s key features will be an outdoor pool amphitheater. Its six rooftop
pools will be operated 365 days a year and boast a massive nearly
14-million-pixel screen playing the day’s most exciting games for those who
want to float while watching the G.O.A.T.
Larger groups can
partake in one of the pool’s Super Cabanas, which can host up to 50 guests. The
venue also will include its own food & beverage venue and music from
DJs and special guests.
· Garage
Mahal – Playfully dubbed “Garage Mahal,” Stevens is constructing one
of the most high-tech transportation hubs in the city with a focus on customer
experience.

Designed to deliver
the easiest and most convenient experience for ride-sharing services such as
Uber and Lyft, Garage Mahal also will offer valet and self-parking, in addition
to long-term parking for loyal Circa customers.
· Casino
& Lobby – Bringing the party to the floor, Circa’s two-story
casino will house 1,350 slot machines and 49 table games. A lobby highlight
will be a statement piece unlike any other – the return of Las Vegas’ beloved
neon kicking cowgirl, Vegas Vickie, who will be a signature feature
in Circa’s lobby.

· New
Food & Beverage Concepts – Circa is poised to become a Las
Vegas culinary destination as it welcomes a collection of original restaurants
and bar venues. The concepts will be announced throughout 2020.
Along with Circa,
Stevens and his brother Greg have played a major role in a
renaissance that has taken place in Downtown over the past decade.
Stevens has partnered
with Steelman Partners to oversee Circa’s architecture and
design, McCarthy Building Companies Inc. as its general
contractor and Tré Builders as construction manager.
