A Legend is Born with Circa Resort and Casino in Las Vegas
What a year 2020 has been. Dark clouds seemed to settle over every city, in every state, heck, in every country. But in downtown Las Vegas there shined a silver lining. Circa Resort & Casino opened its doors in October, the first new downtown hotel built from the ground up since 1980, and it brought with it a grateful nod to the past and a hopeful glimpse into the future. In this special story Las Vegas Magazine explores some of the hot spots across Circa. We talk with owner Derek Stevens as he shares three of his favorite spots on the property. We check in with the property's plush steakhouse, Barry's Downtown Prime and talk with owner and chef Barry S. Dakake and chef de cuisine, Patrick Hodge. And we get a peek at Stadium Swim. Guests can now make a hotel reservation beginning Dec. 28. With the opening of Circa, it looks like things are definitely looking up.
