With Caesars Virginia’s temporary casino expected to open in a few months, city officials are preparing for an influx of visitors to Danville.
The Caesars project, especially the permanent larger facility slated to open in late 2024, will draw hundreds, if not thousands of travelers to the city per day.
Vice Mayor Gary Miller wonders whether hotels and restaurants will be able to handle the extra volume of customers descending upon the city’s establishments.
“We know that’s an issue,” Miller said. “People are going to come here as soon as that opens expecting places to eat and stay.”
While the main casino will have 500 hotel rooms when it opens, the upcoming temporary gaming venue will not.
