Caesars Virginia has made a big impact on Danville, even before opening its doors. Now the city is ready for the grand opening.

Caesars Virginia is buzzing with activity, though its doors are not yet open.

Workers on scaffolding nearly 12 stories in the air are installing the company’s logo on the casino resort’s hotel tower, exactly one week before the grand opening. Construction crews are working around the clock on finishing touches, both inside and outside the resort.

Among the flashing lights of the slot machines on the gaming floor sit cardboard boxes, hard hats and carts full of construction materials. Some employees chatter about where to wheel dollies carrying additional slot machines, while others raise scissor lifts to paint and caulk parts of the ceiling.

“There’s a little work going on everywhere,” said Chris Albrecht, Caesars Virginia general manager. “[We’re] getting ready for game time to show the Danville community this amazing facility.”
