The highly anticipated opening of Belle of Baton Rouge’s temporary land-based casino has finally arrived, much to the excitement of local residents and visitors alike. The casino, which was previously located on a riverboat, has been undergoing renovations to transition to a new, state-of-the-art facility on land.
The temporary site, located in the heart of downtown Baton Rouge, boasts an impressive array of gaming options, including over 1,000 slot machines, 30 table games, and a dedicated poker room. In addition to the gaming floor, the casino also features several dining options, including a steakhouse, buffet, and sports bar.
“We are thrilled to open our new temporary location and provide our guests with a world-class gaming experience,” said General Manager John Koval. “The new facility offers a fresh and modern look, as well as a diverse selection of games and dining options to suit every taste.”
The opening of the temporary land-based casino marks a significant milestone in Belle of Baton Rouge’s ongoing transition from a riverboat casino to a traditional land-based operation. The move was made possible by recent legislation that allowed riverboat casinos in Louisiana to relocate to land-based sites.
Despite the current temporary location, plans are already in place for a permanent land-based casino to be built adjacent to the hotel. The new facility will feature even more gaming options, dining venues, and entertainment offerings, making it a premier destination for gaming enthusiasts in the Greater Baton Rouge area.
In addition to the new casino, Belle of Baton Rouge has also invested in several other upgrades to enhance the overall guest experience. These include renovations to the hotel rooms, lobby, and common areas, as well as new amenities such as a fitness center and outdoor pool.
As word spreads about the opening of the new temporary land-based casino, excitement is building throughout the Greater Baton Rouge community. With its convenient location, impressive gaming options, and commitment to customer satisfaction, Belle of Baton Rouge is poised to become a top destination for gaming enthusiasts in the region.
