Caesars Virginia will create 900 temporary construction jobs and 1,300 full-time jobs. Danville residents overwhelmingly voted in favor of the project, at least in part due to the expected economic impact to the city.

As Danville Mayor Alonzo Jones, who also served as a co-chair on the “Caesars for Danville” campaign committee, stated:

“Over the course of the last two years, myself, City Council and staff have taken great care to develop plans, alongside residents and Caesars Entertainment, to create a resort that will positively impact the community through new tax revenue, jobs, partnership opportunities with local businesses and tourism dollars. We are confident that Caesars Virginia will honor the old Dan River Mills’ Schoolfield site and become a pillar of pride for Danville and its people.”

But what will the resort actually look like? We now know.

The architect for Caesars Virginia in Danville is Marnell Companies. As we previously reported, the firm is also responsible for iconic properties such as Bellagio Resort & Casino in Las Vegas and the Borgata in Atlantic City, N.J.
