In 2022, Albrecht assumed his current post overseeing the Danville casino, which opened in December 2024. The $800 million Caesars Virginia resort, with 1,200 employees, is the third permanent casino to open in the state, although a temporary venue was previously in operation.
The property includes more than 90,000 square feet of gaming space, with 1,500 slot machines, 79 live-action table games, 48 electronic table games, a poker room and Caesars Sportsbook. The casino resort also has a 320-room hotel, a spa, a pool and hot tub, and 50,000 square feet of meeting and convention space that doubles as a 2,500-seat live entertainment venue. It reported $240.1 million in 2024 revenue.
Albrecht has been with Caesars Entertainment for 20 years and was general manager at Harrah’s Philadelphia Casino and Racetrack, a Caesars property, for six years. He has also worked at casinos in Indiana, Cincinnati, New Orleans and Las Vegas.
Albrecht earned a bachelor’s degree in finance from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and has an MBA from the UCLA Anderson School of Management.
