The city of Danville wants to open a satellite visitor center at the Caesars Virginia casino resort.
Economic development and tourism officials hope that the casino’s visitors will venture beyond the resort and explore other parts of the Southside Virginia region.
“We see a unique opportunity to engage with the estimated 2 million visitors expected at Caesars Virginia this year,” Corrie Bobe, Danville’s director of economic development and tourism, told the Register & Bee on Thursday.
Danville’s visitor center is located along the Danville Expressway, which means the facility is overlooked or missed by travelers coming to Danville to frequent the casino.
