Circa is offering $300 packages (with taxes and resort fees) that include two nights accommodations, a $75 food and beverage credit, a $50 Legacy Club credit, and a $25 match play chip.
“I love how Circa has embraced season-long fantasy sports, and we know that our players will get the ultimate Las Vegas experience inside venues they have only seen on TV,” said FullTime founder Ian Ritchie in a statement. “There is no better experience in Las Vegas than Stadium Swim and the property’s sportsbook is best in class. We are proud to share this experience with our customers.”
