There was glitz and glamour at Friday’s grand opening for the Golden Nugget Danville Casino.
City, state and casino officials stood under the sparkling Golden Nugget sign, and in the hot sun, for grand opening ceremony remarks and the ribbon cutting, while the public waited for the casino’s opening, listened to music and waited for the giveaways, promotions and showgirl photo ops.
Golden Nugget Casino officials said they wanted the grand opening celebration to be an unforgettable day of fun and excitement.
Jimmy Wilmot, president of Danville Development which owns the casino, went back in history to tell the crowd in attendance how they got there.
