Sports Betting Arrives in Arizona with Caesars Sportsbook
The wait is finally over and legal sports betting in the state of Arizona is officially live.
Caesars, in partnership with Arizona Diamondbacks, celebrated sports betting legalization in the state with a kickoff event featuring dignitaries and celebrities, a charitable donation of $20,000 to the Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation, a ceremonial first bet, and more.
Emmy nominated actor-comedian JB Smoove, who stars as âCaesarâ in the brandâs nationwide advertising campaign, Caesars Sportsbook Chief Trends Officer and Brand Ambassador Trey Wingo, Arizona Diamondbacks legend Luis Gonzalez and CEO and President Derrick Hall, along with state dignitaries, including Governor Doug Ducey, placed the ceremonial first bets for charity at Caesars Sportsbook at Chase Field, home of the D-backs. The event featured festivities for fans in attendance, food and beverage, and sports betting 101-style education around responsible gaming before sports bets were placed for the first time at a temporary retail sportsbook at the Chase Field box office ticket windows.
âTodayâs event was a culmination of what weâve been excited about for quite some time, bringing legal sports betting to the great sports fans in Arizona. Arizona is like a second home for Caesars, and weâve operated in the state for more than 25 years. We take pride in our brand-new Caesars Sportsbook app being online for day one of sports betting here and weâre ecstatic to offer Arizonans a sports betting experience that can’t be matched,â Chris Holdren, Co-President of Caesars Digital, said.
Caesarsâ partnership with the D-backs includes plans to build a two-story sportsbook and sports bar at Chase Field. Opening in early 2022, the venue will become a hospitality and entertainment destination to be enjoyed by sports bettors and non-sports bettors, locals, and visitors alike. In the interim, sports fans can continue to place in-person bets at five walk-up betting kiosks that will be installed on the north side of the plaza.
In addition to in-person bets being accepted at Chase Field, the brand-new Caesars Sportsbook app is officially available for download and use by Arizona customers.

Plaza Hotel & Casino to celebrate summer with Friday night fireworks
The Plaza Hotel & Casino will celebrate the start of every weekend this summer with a live fireworks show Friday nights at 9:15 p.m., beginning May 24 for Memorial Day weekend through Aug. 30 for Labor Day weekend.
Inspired by the fireworks shows at Disneyland, the Plazaâs Welcome to the Weekend Summer Friday Fireworks will light up the sky above downtown Las Vegas and be part of a festive summer block party atmosphere at the propertyâs Carousel Bar and rooftop pool deck.
âThe Plaza is known for its great fireworks on New Yearâs Eve and July 4th, but who says fireworks are only for those holidays?â said Jonathan Jossel, CEO of the Plaza Hotel & Casino. âThis summer, we wanted to celebrate and give a gift to everyone downtown by sharing the excitement and fun of our fireworks shows with them every Friday night.â
âLas Vegas is the worldâs destination because of all the spectacular attractions that are available here,â City of Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman said. âThe Plaza is adding a new weekly fireworks extravaganza this summer, and everyone is invited to visit downtown Las Vegas and enjoy the show!â
Derek Stevens, CEO and Owner of Circa Resort & Casino said âThe weekly fireworks show will amp up Fremont Streetâs high-energy atmosphere to a new level. Itâs a terrific addition for the entire neighborhood, providing another exciting reason for visitors to come downtown. Huge thanks to Jonathan and the Plaza team for bringing this idea to life. Weâll definitely be enjoying the show every week from Circaâs rooftop lounge, Legacy Club.â
The fireworks shot from the Plazaâs towers will be visible to the thousands of tourists and locals in downtown Las Vegas as well as for miles beyond. Plaza hotel guests will be able to enjoy the fireworks from an exclusive viewing party on its rooftop pool deck where the fireworks will be âignitedâ by a special guest pushing a detonator button on an oversized TNT box.
To attract even more people to stay downtown, the Plaza introduced the only all-inclusive hotel room package starting at $125 per person per night. The package includes bottomless drinks, breakfast and dinner, a free bingo session, waived resort fees, and more. Rooms must be booked online by June 30 for a stay June 1 through July 1.
The Friday night rooftop pool party for hotel guests will feature the Frozen Firecracker, a special red, white, and blue cocktail made with strawberry daiquiri, pina colada, and blue lemonade spiked with Don Q Rum. At Carousel Bar the summer party vibe continues every Friday night with a DJ and the specialty cocktail Watermelon Agua Fresca made with Mi Campo tequila, JĂ€germeister, rose aperitivo, watermelon juice, chamoy, and aloe leaves as a garnish.
âDowntown Las Vegas is already a vibrant, unique, and exciting destination. Our Summer Friday Fireworks paired with our all-inclusive room package and great summertime block party atmosphere at Carousel Bar and the rooftop pool deck will be even more reasons to come downtown this summer,â added Jossel.
The Plazaâs fireworks will be dependent on weather conditions and are subject to change or cancellation.
