Las Vegas does not have a match on the World Cup schedule, but that has not stopped international soccer fans from making the city part of their U.S. experience.
At Circa Resort & Casino, the tournament has turned a traditionally slower stretch of the Las Vegas calendar into a packed sports scene. Fans from Europe and beyond have filled sportsbooks, casinos and Stadium Swim to watch matches on massive screens, even when the games are being played in other cities.
“We were very excited about the World Cup, but we really underestimated how great this is,” Circa owner Derek Stevens said.
Stevens said the tournament has delivered sellouts for Mexico and U.S. matches at the sportsbook and Stadium Swim, with strong crowds for Brazil, England, Argentina and Spain games.
