Celebrity Sightings and High Stakes Converge in Downtown Las Vegas

Jimmy O. Yang visited the property to scout locations for his upcoming series, The Roman, a drama centered on the volatile casino industry. During his stay, he joined Circa CEO Derek Stevens at the Golden Gate Hotel & Casino for the nightly 'The Night Starts Here' promotion. Meanwhile, the culinary scene at Barry’s Downtown Prime remains a draw for high-profile guests. AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champion Harley Cameron was spotted enjoying a signature surf-and-turf dish featuring a 12oz steak and a 2lb lobster tail, while gambling influencer Bluffin Bob and his crew toured the kitchen before sampling the restaurant's braised short rib ravioli and wet-aged rib caps.

Sports betting remains a central narrative at the resort, particularly with the return of Circa’s contests, which boast a prize pool exceeding $30 million. Model and influencer Mika Lafuente entered the Circa Survivor competition with two $1,000 entries before heading to the High Limit pit to film content for her social media channels. Following her time in Las Vegas, Lafuente departed for New York to walk in the Runway7 fashion show during New York Swim Week, highlighting the transient nature of the city's current celebrity circuit.
