It’s the best thing to happen to Las Vegas since thongs. Circa Las Vegas has opened downtown, and it’s straight-up glorious.<\/p>\n

We already shared a metric hell-ton of preview photos<\/a>, so check those out.<\/p>\n

Circa provided all the hoopla befitting a Las Vegas casino opening celebration, and made sure to hit all the right notes, including a clever twist on a longtime Vegas tradition: The first craps roll.<\/p>\n

Rather than inviting one Vegas heavy-hitter to roll the dice first, Circa’s owner Derek Stevens invited a gaggle of them.<\/p>\n

Here are the folks around the Circa craps table for the first official dice roll: Ryan Growney, G.M. of South Point; Jonathan Jossel, CEO of Plaza; Scott Sibella, Pres. of Resorts World; Andy Abboud, V.P. at Las Vegas Sands; Chris Latil, Sr. V.P. of Golden Nugget; Terry Caudill, owner of Binion’s and Four Queens; Mike Nolan, G.M. of El Cortez; and Brendan Gaughan, grandson of Jackie Gaughan.<\/p>\n

We’re definitely not the one who’s going to point out nobody from Boyd was there. That would be awkward.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Plaza CEO Jonathan Jossel snagged the honor after a draw of cards (he got an ace), and the first roll at Circa was a six. That tidbit will win you a bar bet someday.<\/p>\n

\"Circa
That’s some Vegas immortality right there.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After months of anticipation, guests finally got their first in-person look at the newest casino in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Circa features what’s billed as the world’s largest sportsbook, the “country’s largest destination pool experience,” a bevy of new restaurants and lounges and Nevada’s longest bar, Mega Bar.<\/p>\n

Here’s a quick look inside Circa.<\/p>\n
