Las Vegas may not be hosting World Cup matches, but you’d never know it walking through Circa Resort & Casino on Fremont Street. The place has been absolutely packed with fans from every corner of the globe, turning the property into its own personal World Cup fanfest — and the celebrities have been showing up in a big way.
No, that’s not the setup to a joke. The two Hollywood heavyweights were in Vegas for pre-production on their new Martin Scorsese-produced series The Roman when they decided to catch the NBA Finals — inside the world’s largest sportsbook, no less. The duo was spotted hanging with Circa Owner/CEO Derek Stevens as the New York Knicks took down the San Antonio Spurs. Iconic doesn’t even begin to cover it.
32 Million Followers, One Epic Rooftop Party
Social media giant Luisito Comunica — who has his 32 million followers — took things to a whole other level, reserving Circa’s sky-high Legacy Club for an exclusive watch party as Mexico faced South Korea. The 60th-floor panoramic views of Las Vegas were just the backdrop — his tequila brand Gran Malo was flowing, Spanish-speaking influencers were everywhere, cameras were out, and Mexico pulled off the win. During halftime, Luis and his crew were spotted at Mega Bar watching a flair show poured straight from Gran Malo bottles before linking up with Derek Stevens to toast Mexico’s first goal. Somebody call a director, because this night had scene written all over it.
Barry Bonds Just Made His Daughter’s Engagement Even More Legendary
Baseball Hall of Famer Barry Bonds doesn’t do anything small — so when his daughter Aisha got engaged, he reserved a private room at Barry’s Downtown Prime to celebrate in style. The whole family came out, and both chef Barry and Derek Stevens personally stopped by to offer their congratulations. The night wasn’t over after dinner, though. The Bonds crew took over the corner at Legacy Club, where they were treated to a lit-up celebration sign and a bottle of champagne with the Vegas skyline glittering behind them. Romance? Absolutely. Legendary? Without question.
UFC Champ Johanna Jedrzejczyk Hits the Red Carpet
Former UFC strawweight champion Johanna Jedrzejczyk turned heads on the red carpet outside Barry’s Downtown Prime, arriving with her sisters, family, and CAA agent Jennifer Goldstein for a night out. The group was all smiles on their way in — and even more so on the way out, stopping for photos before heading into the evening.
Vegas Didn’t Need a Match To Win
No official World Cup games. No problem. Circa has single-handedly turned Downtown Las Vegas into the hottest watch party destination on the planet, and the stars keep coming back to prove it. Anyone still refusing to call this a sports town? It’s time to reconsider.
