Casino gaming is coming to the River City sooner than expected.
Caesars executives shared these plans with investors on a conference call.
“We expect to open temporary casinos in both Danville, Virginia and Columbus, Nebraska by midyear ’23,” said Anthony Carano Caesars Entertainment President and COO.
Danville’s city manager Ken Larking said the casino would be a smaller version of Caesars Virginia.
Even though it’s not the real thing, Larking says it’s a good start to bring tourists to the city.
“It means that we will have increased activity within our community, and also it’s an opportunity for those who want to work for Caesars can get trained at that temporary facility,” he said.
