Louisiana is set to welcome a new entertainment destination with the groundbreaking of the Live! Casino & Hotel Louisiana project, a $270+ million development that is expected to bring thousands of jobs and economic growth to the region. The project, which is being developed by the Cordish Companies, is set to become a premier destination for gaming, dining, and entertainment in the state.
The Live! Casino & Hotel Louisiana project will feature a state-of-the-art casino with over 1,500 slot machines, 50 table games, and a poker room. The casino will also offer a variety of dining options, including a steakhouse, a buffet, and several casual dining venues. In addition, the project will include a luxury hotel with over 300 rooms, a spa, and a fitness center.
One of the most exciting aspects of the Live! Casino & Hotel Louisiana project is the economic impact it is expected to have on the region. The development is projected to create over 1,000 construction jobs during the building phase, and once completed, the project is expected to employ over 1,500 people in full-time positions. In addition, the project is expected to generate millions of dollars in tax revenue for the state and local governments.
“We are thrilled to be bringing the Live! brand to Louisiana and to be creating a world-class entertainment destination for the residents of the state and visitors alike,” said David Cordish, Chairman of The Cordish Companies. “This project will not only create thousands of jobs and economic opportunities for the region, but it will also provide a unique and exciting entertainment experience for guests.”
The Live! Casino & Hotel Louisiana project is part of a larger trend of casino expansion in the state. In recent years, Louisiana has seen several new casino developments, including the opening of the Margaritaville Resort Casino in Bossier City and the expansion of the Golden Nugget Casino in Lake Charles. These developments have helped to bolster the state’s gaming industry and attract visitors from around the country.
Construction on the Live! Casino & Hotel Louisiana project is set to begin later this year, with an expected completion date in 2022. Once open, the project is expected to draw visitors from across the region and provide a boost to the local economy. With its state-of-the-art amenities and world-class entertainment offerings, the Live! Casino & Hotel Louisiana is poised to become a premier destination for gaming enthusiasts and visitors looking for a unique and memorable experience.
