Location and Transportation

Venue Address

The Event Center at Rivers Casino Portsmouth

3630 Victory Blvd.

Portsmouth, Virginia 23701

The venue sits within Portsmouth, with easy access from the surrounding Hampton Roads area and just about 5 miles from Norfolk, Virginia — perfect for a quick night out.

• Parking: On-site parking is available at Rivers Casino Portsmouth.
• Public Transit: Limited public transit options available.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup zones available near main entrance.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before showtime. This gives you time to park, make your way through the casino entry, and pass through any security screening without rushing. If you’re meeting friends or planning dinner beforehand, build in extra buffer time so you can enjoy the experience from the moment you arrive.

Because the Event Center is indoors, weather rarely impacts your plans. You can go from the garage or lot right into the casino, then directly to the venue on the ground level. Cell service is generally strong, but some areas in large buildings can have limited signal — it’s smart to download your mobile tickets ahead of time.

If you’re parking on-site and heading to dinner at one of the casino restaurants before the show, aim for the earlier end of the arrival window. Lines can form at peak times near restaurants and entrances, especially before popular performances.

Venue Navigation

The Event Center is nestled inside Rivers Casino Portsmouth, making it easy to pair your show with dining and entertainment. The casino and event center are on ground level with accessible entrances, so getting to your seats is straightforward and quick.

You’ll find concessions available for select events, along with bars and lounges throughout the casino for pre- and post-show refreshments. Restrooms are located within the casino complex, and merchandise availability may vary by event. With a flexible layout and occasional reconfigurations, follow on-site signage or ask staff for directions to your section. Comfortable footwear is always a good idea if you expect to explore dining or the gaming floor before the show.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Please review the venue’s current bag policy on the official Rivers Casino Portsmouth website before you arrive.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Consider arriving early if you plan to dine at Admiral’s Steak & Seafood or another on-site spot before the show.
• Because seating layouts vary by event, double-check your event’s seating map for any changes prior to showtime.

Pre-Event Planning

Make the most of your night by pairing your show with a great meal inside the casino. From Admiral’s Steak & Seafood to casual options like Slice Pizzeria and Crossings Café, you’ll find choices for every taste and timeline. Booking your table or arriving early helps you avoid the pre-show rush.

Check the entertainment calendar to discover Rivers Casino Portsmouth Event Center upcoming events and coordinate with your group. If your event uses general admission, plan a meet-up point inside the casino near the Event Center entrance so everyone can arrive together and find your spot.

For larger groups or special celebrations, consider a pre-show gathering at The Sportsbook or a round of drinks at one of the casino bars. The modern ambiance and lighting create a lively, social vibe that keeps the fun going after the final curtain.

Accessibility

The venue offers ground-level, accessible entrances within the Rivers Casino Portsmouth complex, with minimal elevation changes noted from parking to the Event Center.
