Friday’s grand opening for the Golden Nugget Danville Casino will be taking on a Las Vegas flair.

Officials were still in the final planning stages for the grand opening to take place at 11 a.m. Friday at the casino, 204 Eastgate Drive. The public, age 21 and older, is invited to attend.

Jo Green, casino marketing director, said the casino has been open since the end of May and they want to have a fun celebration.

“We just want to have fun,” Green said about the event. “We’ve been open, and this is our way of being official. We’ve not had a celebration.”

There will be a ribbon-cutting ceremony with Vermilion Advantage’s Nicole Van Hyfte serving as emcee.
