The Virginia Lottery Board has approved a third casino facility operator to open a casino – this one in Danville.

Caesars Virginia, LLC’s application for licensure was approved today after a comprehensive review and extensive background investigation by Virginia Lottery. The Virginia Lottery licenses and regulates casinos and sports betting in the state.

Caesars will initially operate at a temporary facility while it prepares to open its permanent facility. The website for Caesars LLC shows a planned opening in 2024. There is no opening date listed for the temporary location but there is speculation online that it could be as soon as June or July.
