The potential to create a casino resort in Richmond, Virginia continues to bring in new bids by top-rated companies. This week, it was announced that the Golden Nugget and Wind Creek Hospitality have presented a plan to build a casino in the capital city if voters in the city approve a ballot initiative in November.
Last year, voters in four other cities in the state had the opportunity to vote on casino gambling. Citizens in Norfolk, Portsmouth, Danville, and Bristol overwhelmingly gave their approval. Richmond is the last city in the mix that can offer a casino and officials decided to wait until this year for the vote. Despite the delay in voting, proposals are still being considered for a casino developer at this time.
