Derek Stevens, man of the year?; ‘Historical racing’ kneecapped

While we wait for own interview with Circa owner Derek Stevens to appear in Casino Life magazine (soon, we promise), we’ll shamelessly piggyback off David Ross‘ excellent Stevens profile in Global Gaming Business. Ross digs up some interesting architectural details about Circa. Like Aria before it, it will have its HVAC system under the floor, rather than in the ceiling. This saves both BTUs and money, as it requires a lot more energy to push conditioned air down than to let it emerge from beneath you. Stevens was also ahead of the Covid-19 curve when he planned an intensive UV-filtration system for Stadium Swim, which promises some of the cleanest pool water in Las Vegas (a relative compliment, we fear, standards being so low, but we praise Stevens for his initiative).
