Circa Resort & Casino has formed a new partnership with VenHub Global to develop a fully automated Smart Store offering to guests, featuring proprietary robotics and an AI platform to process transactions, as well as white-label personalizations.
The retail attraction will provide food & beverage selections as well as smokeless tobacco products, set to be available 24 hours a day for Circa Resort & Casino guests.
“At Circa, we’re always looking for ways to stay on the forefront of what’s next and deliver experiences our guests can’t find anywhere else,” Circa Resort & Casino Founder and CEO Derek Stevens said.
“This is more than a retail concept, it is a one-of-a-kind attraction that brings together cutting-edge technology, convenience and entertainment in a way that’s unique to Circa. Just like Stadium Swim and (Circa Sportsbook), this is about creating a true destination moment, and we’re excited to partner with VenHub to introduce something entirely new to Las Vegas.”
Debuting in spring 2026, the Smart Store was said to represent a “landmark moment” in the merger of hospitality, technology and convenience retail, combining three VenHub automated offerings into a single operating experience.
VenHub CEO Shahan Ohanessian also spoke on the new partnership, having said, “From our first idea for what the future of smart retail should look like, we have designed and developed our Smart Stores to offer a seamless, always on and convenient shopping experience for consumers while also providing operators with a solution that fits their distinct needs.
“Circa Resort has always been forward thinking in product offerings across the property and we are very happy to partner with them to bring this customized, first-of-its kind Smart Store experience to the guests. Our technology enables the seamless integration of this 66-foot long Smart Store to offer a truly unique retail experience.”
On March 4, Circa Resort & Casino, the D Las Vegas and Golden Gate Hotel & Casino – all of which are owned by Stevens – managed to report increases in Canadian visitation since launching its At Par Canadian currency parity program in January 2026.
According to the release, Circa Resort & Casino, the D Las Vegas and Golden Gate Hotel & Casino have produced over 15,000 visitors from Canada since the program’s initial launch, resulting in more than 2,700 hotel room bookings.
The Kansas City Royals named Circa Sports as the franchise’s official sports betting partner on January 26, featuring prominent signage and branding in Kauffman Stadium as well as new fan integrations
