Circa Sportsbook App. The Circa Sportsbook app is a solid addition to any bettor’s toolkit, especially if you have a bit of experience under your belt and don’t shy away from bigger bets. This sportsbook. The sportsbook in Circa Resort & Casino will feature a state-of-the-art, multi-level, stadium-style sportsbook equipped with the biggest screen in sportsbook history along with an in-house broadcast studio. There is no doubt that Circa Sports is about to create some history of its own. Las Vegas Sports.
Last week, Derek Stevens and Greg Stevens officially unveiled plans for Circa Resort & Casino. Sports bettors and nonplayers alike have plenty to get excited about, from the spa to the “largest sportsbook in the world.”
Most noteworthy, the new property will be the first ground-up resort development in downtown Las Vegas since 1980.
Construction on Circa Las Vegas is already underway, with a set December 2020 opening.
A downtown resort with amenities galore
All together, Circa will offer 1.25 million-square-feet of amenities. The list of features beyond the hotel tower is impressive:
- 1,200 car garage
- Largest outdoor bar on Fremont Street
- Multiple broadcast studios
- Multiple dining options
- Multilevel rooftop pool deck with six pools and an entertainment area
- Rejuvenating spa
- Two-level casino
- World’s largest sportsbook
- Vegas Vickie
The Circa Las Vegas sportsbook will be huge, as Derek Stevens (also famed for his love of sports betting) has previously told us. There will be two stories of stadium seating. The third floor of the sportsbook will have five broadcast studios. Vegas Stats and Information Network (VSiN) will occupy one booth while the others will be used for remotes.
The Circa Las Vegas casino will occupy two floors as well. There will be a variety of state-of-the-art slot and table gaming options, and there are rumors of virtual reality gaming.
Circa Las Vegas will have a variety of dining options including a coffee shop. More dining concepts will be announced as the December 2020 opening approaches.
The rooftop pool deck will have six pools, a 125-foot video screen, cabanas and a capacity of 4,000 people. Expect there to be plenty of outdoor entertainment in this multilevel amphitheater.
The rejuvenating spa will offer an amenity not found in most downtown Las Vegas casino-hotels.
Welcome, the Garage Mahal
Boasting a cheeky name, the parking garage at Circa Las Vegas will also be an amenity. In addition to 1,2000 parking spaces, the Garage Mahal is designed with ride-sharing in mind, easy to locate a car from Uber or Lyft.
Circa’s interior will welcome the return of Las Vegas icon Vegas Vickie. Longtime Las Vegas visitors may know her as the kicking cowgirl who was once perched high above the Fremont Street Experience. The neon sign will become a key design feature and must-see photo opportunity within the hotel’s lobby.
Circa Las Vegas will be huge in size — and vision
Circa Las Vegas will occupy an entire city block across the street from another property owned by the Stevens brothers. The new integrated casino will be built across the street from the Golden Gate Casino on the land once occupied by the Las Vegas Club, Mermaids Casino and Glitter Gulch. The Stevens brothers also own The D Las Vegas and Downtown Las Vegas Events Center.
Above all, Circa Las Vegas will deliver a new casino experience but will be built on the original principles of old-school Vegas hospitality that Derek Stevens is famous for.
The hotel tower will be the tallest in Las Vegas north of the Stratosphere. The hotel tower at Circa will be 495 feet high with 44 floors and 777 rooms.
Building on Las Vegas tradition
Circa Las Vegas will be built on the tradition of great service and great gaming. The modern casino will offer amenities of tomorrow with the hospitality that help build Las Vegas into one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Get a sneak peek at the resort below.
There’s a new sportsbook operator in Nevada. Derek Stevens, the owner of The D Las Vegas and Golden Gate casinos, launched a new sportsbook operation called Circa Sports on June 1.
If the new sportsbook name sounds familiar, it’s because another Stevens-run casino, Circa, is under construction across the street from Golden Gate hotel and casino.
Circa Sports opened its first retail location at Golden Gate Casino. The sportsbook operator also has launched a mobile app, which Stadium Technology powers entirely.
Stadium provides the backend solution for many Nevada sportsbook apps but only provides 100% of the technology for the Circa Sports and CG Technology apps.
1 — Circa Sports delivers for gamblers
Circa Sports is launching as a sportsbook operator for both sharp bettors and recreational gamblers.
The book plans to offer fairlines, odds and pointspreads in the casino and on the app, which will likely be the selling point to all bettors.
Also, Circa plans to be aggressive with futureswagering. Circa Sports is offering a yes/no option for all futures bets. They’re also offering “three alternative NFL season win total“ wagering opportunities for bettors looking for variety.
These wagers aren’t available at most other US sportsbooks. As the operation continues to grow, they plan on offering more unique futures bets than other LasVegas casinos.
Sportsbook manager Matthew Metcalf tells PlayUSA they will offer an “ever-changing prop menu” as Circa Sports develops.
Bigger bettors will appreciate Circa Sports’ desire to take large wagers. The Circa Sports app will have higher betting limits than other sports betting apps. These higher limits could be a game changer for bettors that prefer mobile wagering.
2 — Circa Sports app is fast, but …
The Circa Sports app is fast once you’re logged in and navigating the app is quick and easy.
Unfortunately, the first version of the app isn’t stable. It’s not always possible to sign into the Circa Sports app; the initializing screen stays up and spins. Furthermore, the app will occasionally crash.
Hopefully, this is just a first-version problem, but Stadium Technology’s app for CG Technology has similar problems for some users.
New Jersey sports betting apps like FanDuel and DraftKings still stand above their competition in Nevada.
3 — Players get access to the Circa Sports Million football contest
One of the best features with the Circa Sports app is the ability to do more than one thing. In addition to placing wagers, customers can submit weekly picks for the Circa Sports Million football contest.
No other app in Nevada allows access to both the sportsbook and contests in the same app. WestgateSuperBook recently announced that it would offer a separate mobile app for this year’s “SuperContest.” The app for betting games will be separate.
Players can only use Circa Sports in Nevada. Out-of-state contestants for Circa Sports Million will still have to hire a proxy to place their picks unless they decide to drive to the Nevada border and submit picks. Nevada residents can save a few bucks by not having to hire a proxy.
This is more than a money saver for Nevada residents. The convenience of using one app for both the contest and wagering is unparalleled by any sports betting app in the state.
4 — Circa Sports is linked to the casino players’ club
One of the best difference makers when placing a wager at a casino sportsbook is the rewards. If the lines and odds are the same at multiple sportsbooks, being able to get players’ club points is a bonus.
Surprisingly, not all casino sportsbooks offer reward points for sports wagers. Circa Sports wagers will connect with Club One players’ club at the Golden Gate, The D and soon, Circa.
The rewards aren’t quite as straightforward. Points rewarded will be based on the type of wagers a customer’s places. Parlays and teasers will receive more comp points at a higher rate than straight bets.
The reward points are earned with wagers placed in person or with the app. Customers signing up for a Circa Sports mobile account must connect it with their Club One players’ club.
Unlike other casinos that offer rewards for sports bets, the retail Circa Sports locations will create and print up a players’ club card for customers.
5 — The app menu is small
Circa Sports launched their first retail sportsbook and mobile app on the same day. While the retail location is running on all cylinders, the app is just getting started. All of the US mainstream sports are available, but some international sports, like Aussie rules football and cricket, aren’t.
The fringe sports aren’t a big deal for most bettors; however, Metcalf tells PlayUSA that the Circa Sports app will soon have the same extensive menu as the retail locations.
One thing that is a big deal is that the Circa Sports app does not In Play wagering available yet. Again, this will change soon, but it’s something to be aware of when signing up.
Circa Sports is offering some unique propbets. However, the current prop bets available for individual MLB, NBA and NHL games are somewhat limited with fewer than 10 options per game. For comparison, PointsBet Sportsbook in New Jersey has more than 100 ways to place a pre-game wager on most MLB games.
Right now, New Jersey mobile sportsbooks are still the king of prop and in-play wagering.
Circa Sports Betting Lines
6 — Players must fund their account in person at a Circa location
New Jersey has changed the game for online and mobile sports betting.
Circa Las Vegas Sportsbook
Nearly 80% of sports betting revenue in the state comes from mobile wagers. A significant reason for this is the ease to set up an online and mobile sports wagering account. Customers can sign up for mobile betting accounts anywhere in the state.
Nevada does not have the same simple process. All mobile sports wagering accounts in Nevada must be set up in person at a retail sportsbook. Circa Sports apps must be funded at Golden Gate casino or The D Las Vegas when it opens.
Some sportsbook operators, like Station Casinos, allow customers to fund accounts with a prepaid debit card. William Hill allows its customers to fund mobile accounts for a second time at a retail sportsbook, kiosk or 7-Eleven store.
However, Circa Sports only allows its customers to fund their accounts at Circa retail locations.
7 — The Google Play store isn’t playing with Circa Sports
Apple customers can download Circa Sports at their app store.
Android users won’t find the same easy access to the Circa Sports app. The Android app is not available at the Google Play store; however, users can download the app from a direct link at CircaSports.com.
In conclusion, Circa Sports is still above average
The Circa Sports app has its ups and downs. Most sports bettors should be concerned that they’re getting fair odds for the most popular sports. Circa offers good odds for low rollers and high rollers alike.
While the sports betting menu isn’t massive, it has uniquewagers that aren’t available in other casinos. The wagering options will grow as Circa Sports does.
The ability to place football contest picks in the same app saves Nevada residents the time and money of having to place picks in person.
Mobile bettors want to know that they have a solid product to place their wagers. There’s nothing more frustrating than wanting to place a bet and not being able to access the app, which is potentially a big issue with the first version of the Circa Sports app.
Overall, the Circa Sports app is off to a good start.
The wagering menu should improve. And hopefully the technology provider stabilizes the app, so there’s never a question about access.
