The Cordish Companies<\/a> announced on Friday that its newest casino resort will open in less than two months in Bossier City, LA. Live! Louisiana, a more than $270 million investment, will turn on its 1,000 slot machines and get cards in the air on its 40 live dealer table games on Feb. 13, 2025.<\/p>\n

The grand opening comes the day before Valentine\u2019s. Baltimore-based Cordish is betting big that Louisianans and gamblers from across the country will quickly fall in love with Live! Louisiana.<\/p>\n

\n

We couldn\u2019t be more thrilled to announce our grand opening date. We are so ready to go Live! in 2025 and deliver this top-tier gaming and entertainment experience that is unmatched by anything else in the four-state region,\u201d said John Chaszar, executive vice president and general manager of Live! Casino & Hotel Louisiana.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cLive! is truly a one-of-a-kind destination, offering something for everyone<\/a> \u2014 whether you\u2019re a sports fan, a foodie, a gaming enthusiast, or just seeking an unforgettable night out, you\u2019ll find it all under one roof,\u201d Chaszar added.<\/p>\n

Resort Details<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Cordish acquired the shuttered Diamond Jacks hotel and riverboat in April 2023 for an undisclosed sum. The seller was Foundation Gaming, which had purchased the property from Peninsula Pacific Entertainment a year earlier.<\/p>\n

Foundation folded on its plans to invest $200 million into renovating the dilapidated property and sold it to Cordish.<\/p>\n

Cordish, which runs three casinos in Maryland and Pennsylvania, is amid an expansion phase. Along with Louisiana, the company is moving forward with a casino resort in Virginia\u2019s Petersburg<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

In the Bayou State, Cordish sunk the former Diamond Jacks riverboat in favor of a new brick-and-mortar casino. The 47K-square-foot gaming space, which, along with slots and table games has a high-limit room and a sportsbook, is connected to the 12-story hotel<\/a> that has 549 guestrooms and suites.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The hotel underwent a complete renovation and upgrade. A resort-style pool and fitness center are among the new resort amenities.<\/p>\n

Room rates for Live! Louisiana\u2019s opening weekend start at $399 a night. After taxes and a \u201chotel services fee\u201d of $15 a night plus tax, a two-night stay comes to $957.27.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Live! Louisiana\u2019s Event Center has 25K square feet of customizable facilities. The destination additionally has 30K square feet of dining and entertainment, plus a 31-site RV park with concrete pads and full hookups.<\/p>\n

Restaurants set to open in February include Sports & Social, Live!\u2019s sports bar and restaurant, Luk Foo, an Asian-themed restaurant with culinary dishes inspired by Vietnam, Japan, Korea, and China, and The Prime Rib, a fine dining experience highlighted by chops and seafood.<\/p>\n

Bossier City Turnaround?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

During the 2024 fiscal year that ran from July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024, the five casinos in the Bossier City\/Shreveport market combined to generate gross gaming revenue<\/a> (GGR) of approximately $517.7 million. That marked a 4.4% decline from the $541.5 million the casinos won in FY2023.<\/p>\n

Bossier City and Shreveport casinos have been on a decline for several years.<\/p>\n

\n

In FY2022, Bossier\/Shreveport GGR totaled $584.5 million. In pre-pandemic 2019, casino win topped $626.4 million. Diamond Jacks was still in operation at the time, though its FY2019 GGR amounted to just $35.1 million.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In the 2016 fiscal year, Bossier\/Shreveport casinos won almost $667 million.<\/p>\n
