Caesars Virginia has named Baltimore, Maryland-based Whiting-Turner as the general contractor to build its $500 million resort and casino in Danville, Caesars Entertainment announced Monday.
The resort will have a 500-guestroom hotel, a casino with more than 1,400 slot machines and table games, a Caesars sportsbook and a World Series of Poker-branded poker room. It will also include 40,000 square feet of meeting and convention space and a 2,500-person entertainment venue, along with bars and restaurants.
In September 2021, Caesars upped the price tag by $100 million for a larger hotel with 500 rooms, instead of 300. The project promises to bring 900 construction jobs and 1,300 new operational jobs. It is set to be complete in late 2023.
