Golden Nugget Danville Casino developers presented the city on Wednesday with the first $1 million check as part of the Host Community Agreement during a sneak preview of the casino given to media and other invited guests. About 25 people including Danville City Council aldermen toured the inside of the casino located off Lynch Road at 204 Eastgate Drive.

The check presentation was for the city’s riverfront development.

When Danville Mayor Rickey Williams Jr. first walked through the doors of the casino, Danville Development President Jimmy Wilmot asked him “What do you think?”

“Jimmy, this is incredible,” Williams said, taking it all in.
