Casinos Near Danville, Virginia

Danville is a mid-sized city in the southern Virginia Piedmont, sitting just a few miles from the North Carolina border. For years its residents had no local gaming options and faced long drives to Atlantic City, Cherokee, or West Virginia. That changed on December 17, 2024, when Caesars Virginia opened its doors — a $750 million destination resort that transformed Danville into one of the most prominent new casino markets in the mid-Atlantic South.

A Flagship Resort on the Virginia-North Carolina Border

Caesars Virginia was developed by Caesars Entertainment in partnership with the City of Danville and represents one of the company’s most significant new property openings in recent years. Located on West Main Street just west of downtown Danville, the resort was designed to capture not only the local Virginia market but also the substantial population centers in North Carolina that lack nearby casino options. Danville is roughly 40 miles north of Greensboro and approximately 70 miles from Winston-Salem, making Caesars Virginia the closest full-service casino for millions of North Carolina residents.

The Gaming Floor

Caesars Virginia’s casino floor spans over 100,000 square feet, one of the largest gaming floors in Virginia. The facility features approximately 1,500 slot machines across a wide range of denominations, game types, and manufacturers, from classic reel games to the latest video slot titles with branded and progressive jackpot content. Live table games number around 79 tables, covering blackjack, roulette, craps, baccarat, Mississippi Stud, Three Card Poker, and other variants.

A dedicated World Series of Poker (WSOP) poker room offers 21 custom tables running regular cash games at multiple stakes levels and hosts scheduled tournament series, including WSOP Circuit events. The poker room cements Caesars Virginia’s position as one of the premier poker destinations in the region. A full-service Caesars Sportsbook rounds out the gaming mix, offering wagering on professional and college sports under Virginia’s licensed sports betting framework.

Dining — Including Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen

One of Caesars Virginia’s signature attractions is its dining lineup, headlined by a Gordon Ramsay restaurant — the first Gordon Ramsay dining concept in the state of Virginia. Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen serves a menu of elevated comfort food classics along with Ramsay’s signature dishes in a high-energy setting. The property also features the 500 Block Food Hall, a multi-vendor casual dining marketplace designed for quick, varied meal options. Thread Bar serves as a premium cocktail lounge and nightlife venue. Additional dining and bar options bring the total to over 12 food and beverage destinations across the resort.

Hotel and Entertainment Venue

The Caesars Virginia hotel tower offers 320 guestrooms and suites with LED televisions, premium furnishings, and amenities consistent with Caesars’ national brand standards. Free valet parking is available for hotel guests, and the property features express check-in and check-out. A fitness center, seasonal outdoor pool, and a full-service spa provide leisure options between gaming sessions.

For live entertainment, Caesars Virginia operates a 2,500-seat state-of-the-art theater that hosts concerts, stand-up comedy, boxing, and other touring performances. The venue’s capacity and production capabilities attract national headlining acts and position the property as the premier entertainment venue in the Danville-Greensboro region.

Caesars Rewards Loyalty Program

Caesars Virginia participates in the Caesars Rewards program — one of the most expansive loyalty ecosystems in the casino industry. Members earn Reward Credits and Tier Credits for hotel stays, gaming, dining, and entertainment spending at any Caesars-owned property in the United States, including Caesars Palace Las Vegas, Harrah’s Cherokee in North Carolina, and dozens of other properties. Tier levels run from Gold to Diamond Plus, with benefits including free hotel nights, priority check-in, free play bonuses, dining credits, and exclusive event access. The Caesars Rewards app tracks points and tier status and enables mobile check-in. Enrollment is free at the Caesars Rewards desk on the casino floor.

From Winston-Salem, take I-40 East to US-421 North, connecting to US-29 for the final approach, a total drive of approximately 70 to 75 miles.

Free self-parking and valet parking are available at the resort. The property has structured parking connected to the main casino entrance.

Nearby Amenities

Danville’s River District — a redeveloped industrial district along the Dan River — has emerged as a local food, arts, and entertainment destination that complements the casino resort. Breweries, restaurants, galleries, and a riverwalk trail make the area a pleasant complement to an evening at Caesars. Crossing over the river, the Danville Science Center and the Danville Museum of Fine Arts and History reflect the city’s longer cultural history as a major tobacco and textile manufacturing city.

For visitors coming from North Carolina, Greensboro’s lodging, dining, and attractions are 40 miles south and provide a full urban complement. The High Point furniture market district and the Winston-Salem arts corridor are also within easy range for a combined trip. Closer to the casino, the Martinsville Speedway — one of NASCAR’s oldest and shortest tracks — is approximately 35 miles west, offering another regional draw for motorsports fans making a Danville trip.
