While Las Vegas Mayor Shelley Berkley hinted at a potential new Circa Casino Resort during her first State of the City address, it seems the project is not set in stone. Vital Vegas reported that the announcement might have been premature since the Stevens brothers, owners of the Circa Casino, have yet to decide on the property's future use.
The parcel in question, located in Symphony Park's northeast corner, is indeed in the Stevens brothers' possession, and it's the only gaming-zoned plot in the community. The area's master plan refers to this site as "Circa 2". However, in the next three years, this parcel will serve as a construction yard for a Symphony Park condo tower. Afterward, the brothers remain undecided about its future.
Vital Vegas seems to have inside information about the situation.

Last week, Mayor Berkley announced plans to construct a new Circa Casino Resort on 6.42 acres in Symphony Park. This developing, mixed-use community, connected to downtown Las Vegas by a pedestrian bridge, promoted as a culture-rich island within the city.
Residents of Symphony Park, however, may not be thrilled about the casino's proximity. Comments such as Parris Golden's, a Symphony Park resident, hint at a potential move due to the cultural and dynamic shifts brought by the casino.
County records reveal that the property was last purchased in July 2017 by PQ Holdings LLC. Other attractions in Symphony Park include the Smith Center for the Performing Arts and the Discovery Children's Museum, and by the end of 2028, the community will welcome a new Las Vegas Museum of Art.
It's common for such major developments to stir up local concerns, such as traffic, noise, and property value issues.
