Circa is opening in downtown Las Vegas and it will have a big impact on the Las Vegas sports scene because of its massive sportsbook superscreen.

Developer Derek Stevens is a big sports fan and the downtown sponsor of the Vegas Golden Knights.

Let’s take a look at the Circa from the air thanks to these photos by Las Vegas photographer Tom Donoghue.

The Stadium Swim is a big deal — as the sign says, three levels and six pools.

 

Number of rooms? 777, of course.

It’s the first major new hotel-casino in downtown in decades.

It sits literally right next to the Fremont Street Experience.

Number of parking spaces in the Garage Mahal: 982
