The 2024 campaign for Richmond’s next mayor will be in full swing before the planned ONE Casino + Resort will welcome the first players to try their luck at the slot machines, roll the dice on a craps table or play blackjack.
Instead of being ready in December 2023 as City Hall initially announced, the casino’s completion date has been pushed back nine months to Oct. 1, 2024, City Council was notified Monday.
And the 250-room luxury hotel that is part of the package might not open until Oct. 1, 2025, the council also was informed.
All of this is assuming Richmond voters give a thumbs-up to having full-blown gambling mecca in the city.
