Live! Casino & Hotel Louisiana: A Transformative Entertainment Destination in Bossier City
16.06.2024
The Cordish Companies have ambitious goals for the former DiamondJacks Casino & Hotel located in Bossier City, Louisiana. A comprehensive proposal has been presented to the Louisiana Gaming Control Board with the aim of converting the property into a lavish entertainment hub, reimagined as Live! Casino & Hotel Louisiana.
Projected to debut in 2025, the endeavor signifies a substantial capital outlay exceeding $250 million. Joe Weinberg, a managing partner at Cordish, contends that it will be transformative for the locality, providing an unparalleled experience encompassing premium gaming, dining, entertainment, and lodging. He underscored the project’s capacity to generate employment opportunities and produce millions in economic advantages for the surrounding area.
The present blueprint incorporates a luxurious resort hotel featuring in excess of 400 guest rooms, a sprawling gaming area encompassing over 47,000 square feet, and a diverse array of gaming choices. Patrons can anticipate discovering more than 1,000 slot machines and electronic table games, complemented by over 30 live-action table games.
Demolition activities on the existing edifice commenced in February, clearing the path for this exhilarating metamorphosis. Greg Guida, Co-CEO of Foundation Gaming & Entertainment, conveyed enthusiasm for the undertaking and the favorable influence it will exert on the region.
The Louisiana Gaming Control Board expressed great enthusiasm about collaborating with Cordish Companies on this captivating endeavor. They conveyed their eagerness to collaborate closely with both the Foundation and Cordish to expedite the project’s launch, ultimately presenting a premier gaming and leisure destination that would instill pride in the residents of Louisiana, as stated by Ronnie Johns, Chairman of the Louisiana Gaming Control Board.
Cordish intends to substitute its current riverboat casino with a contemporary land-based establishment and will incorporate a range of novel dining and entertainment choices, featuring a sophisticated steakhouse and an Asian Fusion eatery.
