DANVILLE, Va. — Caesars Virginia is rolling out the red carpet with the announcement of its new entertainment and event venue, The Pantheon, set to open this summer. The venue promises to be a hub of excitement, offering a variety of performances from concerts to comedy shows.
Country music star Gary Allan will kick off the festivities on June 6, followed by a lineup that includes Grammy Award-winning singer Wynonna Judd, legendary rock group ZZ Top, and comedian Gabriel "Fluffy" Iglesias. The venue will also host the Long Island Medium, Theresa Caputo, among others.
Chris Albrecht, the Senior Vice President and General Manager of Caesars Virginia, expressed enthusiasm for the new addition: "We want to offer something unique and different that doesn't happen normally here in Danville. It gives another fantastic reason to come visit us," Albrecht said. "This entertainment space allows for a whole new set of individuals to come and experience a fantastic space."
Local residents are buzzing with anticipation. Teressa Curry-Foster, who recently moved to Danville, exclaimed, "I just moved down here 8 months ago. So I'm actually excited about the entertainment venue because I've never been to a concert ever."
Another resident, Gerald Willie, shared his excitement, stating, "I think it's very exciting. I think it'll bring a lot of excitement to the community."
The Pantheon will feature 2,500 seats and 30,000 square feet of showroom space, designed to ensure that there is not a bad seat in the house. The venue also includes an additional 20,000 square feet of event and pre-function space.
