the surrounding region through employment and tourism,” said Barron
Fuller, Regional President for Caesars Entertainment. “We’re so
proud of Caesars Virginia and look forward to welcoming guests on
Dec. 12.”
“Our property started out with just over 400 Team Members when
the temporary facility opened last year, and we are on track to
hire more than 1,200 by the time we open our doors in December,”
said Chris Albrecht, Senior Vice President and General Manager of
Caesars Virginia. “Through numerous hiring events in the region,
training at facilities in Danville and overall support from local
and state leaders as well as the business community, we are
prepared to continue delivering the Family Style Service that
Caesars is known for to our guests in the new, beautiful,
destination resort.”
“Our partnership with Caesars Virginia marks a significant
milestone in the region’s growth, creating jobs and economic
opportunities that will benefit both Danville and surrounding
communities,” said Principal Chief Michell Hicks of the Eastern

proud to be a part of this exciting new chapter, as this resort
represents an impressive investment in hospitality and
entertainment. We look forward to building stronger ties within the
region and seeing the positive impact Caesars Virginia will have,
providing opportunities and experiences that honor the unique
spirit and diversity of this area.”

opening, it has paid more than $66 million to the City of Danville
