Circa Sports has officially opened a new sportsbook at Silverton Casino Lodge, marking a significant expansion in the Las Vegas area. This new venue is the fifth satellite location for the Circa brand in southern Nevada and represents its first foray into the southwest region of the city. The grand opening of this sportsbook is a testament to the growing popularity of sports betting in Nevada and Circa Sports’ commitment to providing top-notch betting experiences across the state.
First Bet Marks the Beginning
The opening of the new sportsbook was celebrated with a notable first bet placed by Bettor David McCovy, who wagered $15,000 on women’s college basketball, betting on Oklahoma to beat Iowa State. Despite Oklahoma being favored, they lost to Iowa State with a score of 85-68. This event not only marked the beginning of operations for the new sportsbook but also highlighted the unpredictable nature of sports betting.
Leadership’s Vision for Expansion
Derek Stevens, CEO of Circa Sports, expressed his excitement about introducing the Circa Sports brand to a new part of Las Vegas. He praised the development of Silverton over recent years and emphasized the importance of this strategic location for Circa’s expansion. On the other hand, Rob Kunkle, President of Silverton Casino Lodge, expressed his enthusiasm for partnering with Circa Sports, citing their ability to deliver a first-class betting experience as a key reason for their selection.
Features of the New Sportsbook
The new 1,600-square-foot sportsbook, designed by Tré Builders, is equipped with a state-of-the-art Daktronics screen that showcases major sports leagues and streaming services. It features three betting windows, three self-serving kiosks, odds boards, betting sheet racks, lounge chairs, tables, booths, and bar-top games. Conveniently located next to Silverton’s parking garage, the sportsbook offers easy access for visitors looking to place bets or enjoy the game in a comfortable setting.
Future Developments at Silverton
Silverton Casino is not stopping with just the sportsbook. The property is preparing to open a new $10 million pool alongside a $40 million hotel remodel. Known for its partnership with Bass Pro Shops and a free mermaid show in a 117,000-gallon aquarium, Silverton is enhancing its offerings to provide a more diverse and engaging experience for its guests.
Conclusion
The opening of Circa Sports’ new sportsbook at Silverton Casino Lodge is a significant development in the Las Vegas sports betting scene. With its strategic location, state-of-the-art facilities, and the backing of experienced leaders like Derek Stevens and Rob Kunkle, the sportsbook is poised to become a favorite destination for both novice and seasoned bettors. As Circa Sports continues to expand its footprint in Nevada, sports enthusiasts have much to look forward to in terms of access to premier betting experiences and facilities.
