Circa Sportsbook Hours

1. My understanding with the new Circa sportsbook reservations is that cost is 1) to guarantee a seat and 2)applied to food/beverage. So the cost may be $79, but looks like that is a 'minimum spend.' Will let you know after November 8th (I know - doesn't help you for the 7th).
2. Bettors began flocking to what Circa bills as the world’s largest sportsbook in the wee hours Sunday morning. Paul Lopez and his cousin and uncle left for Las Vegas from Riverside, California.

By its very definition, the impact of a pandemic is extremely pervasive.

Naturally, the most critical area it touches is individual health. But there’s a virtually endless domino effect such a scenario has on countless aspects of everyday life. As we’ve seen over the last 24 hours, that certainly includes favorite pastimes. And the money some like to stake on them.

Circa, which opened in October of 2020 not only be the best sportsbook downtown, but in all of Vegas. Circa’s 78 million pixel screen is 3 stories tall and the largest in Vegas. The resort’s pool deck amphitheater also boasts a 125-foot screen and room for 4,000 guests setting the standard for big game watch parties going forward.

And while it’s rightfully considered trivial to those dealing with life/death circumstances, there are potentially deep financial ramifications in the sports betting world as a result of the increasing amount of cancellations/suspensions of regular-season and tournament play.

Futures bettors left in limbo

With the immediate future of no less than the NBA regular season in question due to the coronavirus outbreak – as well as that of multiple major college basketball tournaments, including March Madness, the pause on the NHL season and the reported imminent postponement of the start of MLB campaign – the many bettors holding futures tickets for these events certainly can’t help but wonder what happens to their open wagers.

TheLines.com reached out to several major sportsbooks Thursday regarding their plan of action for these contingencies. Unsurprisingly, on a day when the cavalcade of cancellations that began with the NBA’s Wednesday night announcement of its suspension of play is still in full force, sportsbooks are still evaluating how they’ll handle the situation.

Representatives from both FanDuel Sportsbook and PointsBet confirmed they were in wait-and-see mode and wouldn’t yet speculate on what they consider truly unprecedented territory.

DraftKings Sportsbook was also contacted for comment, which was pending at the time of this writing.

No direct precedent for coronavirus-related disruption

The most recent and perhaps closest comparative situation – albeit on a considerably smaller scale –could be last year’s Alliance of American Football’s (AAF) truncated inaugural season.

The AAF famously and abruptly suspended operations after eight weeks last season when majority owner Tom Dundon pulled the plug. Both FanDuel and PointsBet paid out any AAF Championship futures bets that had been placed on the Orlando Apollos, since Steve Spurrier’s team had the league’s best record at the time. Tickets on all other teams were refunded.

Needless to say, AAF handle is dwarfed by that regularly seen on the games run by leagues and conferences that have paused/canceled events over the last 24 hours. Therefore, such a solution is fiscally impossible.

Sportsbooks do have general guidelines for handling what could be considered a case of “force majeure”, defined, in part, as “natural and unavoidable catastrophes that interrupt the expected course of events and restrict participants from fulfilling obligations.”

Sportsbooks could take a number of different routes

Typically, in the cases of cancellations of individual sporting events – or even a block of games such as those of the canceled NCAA tournaments – tickets, be they single-game or futures, are typically refunded since the event never transpires. The potential wiping out of a season also impacts futures bets, however, and doesn’t necessarily offer as clear of a solution.

Take the case of over/under bets on regular-season win totals for paused leagues.

Over wagers on teams that already are locked into falling short of the projected win total even if a league resumed a full schedule of play could potentially be graded as losers immediately. However, given that futures wagers are typically contingent on a full league schedule being played, sportsbooks may simply have to wait to see what transpires, as a matter of following their own terms and conditions.

And, even in the unlikely event the NBA and NHL actually complete their entire regular-season schedules in delayed fashion, operators could still opt to refund what would have been losing tickets in a nod to customer goodwill.

Naturally, the same contingency could be in play for over/under futures tickets that are technically still “alive”. While a truncated schedule would technically free sportsbooks from the obligation of paying out on an Under win total bet that hits in a shortened regular season, they may make the decision to deem such tickets winners.

It’s also important to keep in mind that bettors may not necessarily see a uniform, across-the-board response from the increasing number of regulated sportsbooks. Each operator will undoubtedly utilize individual discretion on certain decisions, depending on how circumstances with each league/event plays out.

As the rapidly unfolding chain of events stemming from the COVID-19 outbreak show, measures and solutions at the local, state and federal levels are being arrived upon in spontaneous and continuously evolving fashion.

Sportsbooks are no different when dealing with the impact on their industry, but bettors should progressively gain additional clarity on their open tickets as sports leagues eventually announce their plans of action.

The newest addition to the Las Vegas sportsbook scene is downtown-based Circa Sports, which opened in June of 2019. Circa has three brick and mortar locations at Circa, Golden Gate and The D. The Golden gate sportsbook is open 24 hours a day.The Circa casino sportsbook is the flagship of the company, and arguably, of the world. All three casinos are owned by Derek Stevens.

Circa has made quite a splash in its first year with an aggressive bookmaking approach under director Matt Metcalf. Formerly a professional bettor and bookmaker at the Hilton, Metcalf has shown a willingness to take on big action and sharp players, and has offered unprecedented futures prices with incredibly low hold percentages. Circa is the only operator in Vegas that allows you to parlay your future bets and provides many unique offerings that are not typically seen on sportsbook menus.

Circa Sports betting menu

There is an expansive menu at Circa which includes wagering on professional football, basketball, baseball, hockey, soccer, tennis, golf, MMA, UFC, NASCAR, and even bull riding when it is in town. You can wager on college football and basketball throughout the season, with select betting on college baseball, college hockey, and college women’s basketball. Circa has been the first sportsbook to post lines on certain markets like college football and the XFL, and will offer some lesser-known markets that aren’t widely available, such as college basketball extra games.

There is a variety of prop bets available for NFL games, Golden Knights games, and other marquee events. Live betting is available for all NFL games, select college football games, and most postseason NBA, NHL, and MLB games. Circa currently manages live trading in-house and does not use an outside software provider.

Circa Sports contests

Two contests will be available at Circa this upcoming football season. The Circa Sports Million, which just had its inaugural season, is a $1,000 pro football contest where you make five picks against the spread each week. Debuting this fall, the Circa Sports Survivor Pro Football Contest will a $1,000 entry and participants will get one pick to win straight up each week. Both contests are guaranteeing at least $1 million to first place, will not have a rake, and allow picks to be placed via the mobile app.

Circa Sports limits

Circa has quickly gained a favorable reputation thanks to offering some of the best sports betting limits in Las Vegas. While limits vary based on the customer, sport, and market, Circa has not shied away from sharp action and consistently offers higher limits than most of its competitors. Customer service has been a priority for the new operator and they are always willing to negotiate limits with bettors who might have unique requests.

Circa Sports mobile betting app

The Circa mobile app is open 24/7 and uses Nevada-based Stadium Technology. You must visit one of their three sportsbook locations to sign up, where you must fill out a W9 and will need a valid driver’s license and player’s card from the casino. Deposits and withdrawals may be made on the app. Circa is not offering any sign-up bonuses for new mobile accounts.

Atmosphere

While Circa Sport’s D and Golden Gate locations are brand new and have impressive TV and odds board displays, both are limited in size, so they don’t exactly generate the same atmosphere as some of the major sportsbooks on the Las Vegas Strip. That is not the case at Circa, which is the largest sportsbook in Las Vegas by square footage and provides one of the best atmospheres in town. It includes two stories of bar top video poker machines to go with the massive TV wall.

Parlay and Teaser Odds

Circa offers parlays on most straight bets and futures, with certain exceptions for markets that are correlated. They allow teaser bets for pro and college football and basketball, and have parlay cards, teaser cards, and reverse teaser cards available for pro and college football.

Here are the teaser and parlay odds tables, per the Circa house rules:
