Two addresses, not a relocation

Danville says its new visitor center at Caesars Virginia opened October 6 at 1100 West Main Street. The October 13 city announcement identifies it as a second official location, alongside the center at 645 River Park Drive.

The new center offers regional travel information, maps, guides and suggestions for dining, attractions and outdoor recreation in Danville, Pittsylvania County and surrounding Southside communities.

Use the information desk for the next question

For someone planning a visit, the practical change is another place to obtain local information. Confirm the center’s current operating hours before making a special trip; the announcement does not settle every access or parking question.

For local businesses, an announced visitor center is not evidence of a particular increase in sales, foot traffic or bookings. Those outcomes need separate measurement.

This report also makes no recommendation about gambling and does not imply that a casino visit is required to explore the region.
