Las Vegas Strip Casinos Face a New Downtown Rival (With a Plan)

Las Vegas tourism is driven by business. Businesses like Caesars Entertainment, MGM Resorts International and Apollo Global Management are big business drivers for Las Vegas Strip-based casino operators. Circa-owner Derek Stevens plans to add a large new convention space to his modern, Strip like property. Downtown Las Las hasn't had the capacity to bid against Strip properties for these conventions and business meetings.

Circa wants to create a new casino/hotel in downtown Las Vegas. It has a glitzy, glamorous Strip-quality casino that just happens to be downtown. The casino has top-tier restaurants and a tiered Stadium Pool. Stevens plans to build out a convention/meeting space that can compete for business events.  Las Vegas Strip Casinos Face a New Downtown Rival (With a Plan).
