Celebrity Sightings at Circa: From Power Slaps to Pawn Stars

While McCarthy and her husband, Donnie Wahlberg, enjoyed their usual meal of Garbage Salad and Oreo Cookie Ice Cream Pie, the restaurant served as a hub for local fame. The interaction between McCarthy and Dempster, captured for social media, highlighted the relaxed atmosphere that has made the Circa Resort a magnet for celebrities. The venue’s appeal was further underscored by a separate appearance from a group of UFC ring girls, including Arianny Celeste and Chrissy Blair, who were served dinner by Chef Barry himself.

Beyond the dining room, the resort’s Stadium Swim provided a backdrop for the long-running television series Pawn Stars. Rick Harrison and Chumlee spent the day filming an upcoming episode alongside producer Tracy Whittaker. The crew utilized the owner’s cabana, provided by CEO Derek Stevens, to film segments for the show’s 20th season. With over 750 episodes produced since 2009, the production team continues to lean on the downtown property as a primary location for their high-stakes negotiations.
