The 2023 iteration of the event kicks off on Thursday, August 24, and runs through Saturday, August 26. Circa\u2019s Ultimate Contest Weekend will include events at the operator\u2019s eponymous venue in downtown Las Vegas as well as at the D. Participants in the contests are eligible for free rooms at Circa, the D, and the Golden Gate Hotel & Casino, all of which are owned by Circa boss Derek Stevens<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

On August 24, there will be a pop-up media event at Circa\u2019s Galaxy Ballroom from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. where various sports betting media outlets and personalities will discuss their views on the 2023 football season. A welcome reception is scheduled from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at BarCanada at the D, where contest participants can meet Stevens and past Circa Survivor and Million winners.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This season will mark the fifth iteration of the increasingly popular NFL contests whose combined payout of $14 million<\/a> easily exceeds last year\u2019s $12 million. Circa doesn\u2019t take a rake on the contests.<\/p>\n

Circa Offers Perks for Contest Participants<\/h2>\n

The Ultimate Contest Weekend is open to all competitors in the Circa football contests, regardless of how many entries they commit to. There are some notable perks, too.<\/p>\n

A full house of entries consists of five, $1,000 entries in Circa Million V and 10, $1,000 entries in Circa Survivor. This will include a complimentary three-night hotel stay at Circa with an option to upgrade to a suite at no additional cost Sunday through Thursday,\u201d according to a statement issued by Las Vegas-based Circa.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Participants who shell out for 10 to 14 entries across the two competitions can get free Sunday through Thursday, three-night stays at the D and Golden Gate with an option to upgrade to Circa for a fee. Anyone with five to nine entries in either contest will be eligible for a casino room rate for a three-night stay at either of the three casino hotels, while participants with one to four entries in either contest can get that treatment for one night.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a limit of five Circa Million entries per person, while Survivor participation is capped at 10 entries per player.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2022, 6,133 participants<\/a> signed up for Survivor while Circa Million had a field of nearly 4,700 contestants.<\/p>\n

More on Circa Ultimate Contestant Weekend<\/h2>\n

On August 25, there will be an open bar from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Circa\u2019s famed Stadium Swim, where contest entrants can mingle with sports betting media personalities. The next day, Director of Operations Mike Palm will host the Circa Football Preview in the Galaxy Ballroom from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.<\/p>\n

This panel will feature sports betting experts and personalities to provide insight into the upcoming 2023-2024 pro football season, the contests, and more,\u201d according to the statement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Proxy services will be available at each event, which is vital to contest participants who are not Nevada residents because picks must be made from within the state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
