Construction on Circa Resort & Casino reaches halfway point

The upcoming Circa Resort & Casino in Las Vegas has reached the halfway mark on its 22-month construction process. The project, on track for a December 2020 opening, claims to be the first new ground-up gaming resort in historic downtown Las Vegas since 1980.

The 1.25-million-square-foot property will include 777 guestrooms; an outdoor pool amphitheater consisting of six rooftop pools and a food-and-beverage venue; a two-story casino with 1,350 slot machines and 49 table games; and a collection of original restaurants and bar venues.

The Circa Resort & Casino is not the first Las Vegas project its developer Derek Stevens has been involved in. He and his brother Greg Stevens’ investments include the D Las Vegas, Golden Gate Hotel & Casino and Downtown Las Vegas Events Center.

Stevens has partnered with Steelman Partners to oversee Circa’s architecture and design, McCarthy Building Companies as its general contractor and Tré Builders as construction manager.
