LRGC Gaming Investors, LLC, an affiliate of The Cordish Companies, marked a significant milestone in the construction of the more than $270 million Live! Casino & Hotel Louisiana. The topping-off ceremony was held recently for the first land-based casino in the Shreveport-Bossier market. The property is scheduled to open in Q1 2025.
Located along the Red River in Bossier, directly across from Shreveport, Live! Casino & Hotel Louisiana will have more than 47,000 square feet of gaming space; 1,000-plus slots and electronic table games; 40-plus live action table games; a sportsbook; a 550-room hotel, resort pool and fitness center; a 25,000-square-foot, multi-purpose event center; a 31-site RV park with concrete pads and full hook-ups; structured and surface parking; and 30,000 square feet of dining entertainment venues with new food and beverage outlets.
During the ceremony, two additions were announced to the restaurant lineup of Live! Casino & Hotel Louisiana, namely Ridotto Grand Café and The Prime Rib. These additions join the previously announced Sports & Social, the sports bar and restaurant; PBR Cowboy Bar, housing a mechanical bull; and Luk Fu, an Asian restaurant.
The project is expected to generate more than $35 million in gaming tax revenues for Bossier City and over $168 million for the state of Louisiana within its first five years of operation. It is also projected to create approximately 1,500 new jobs including 750 new construction jobs and approximately 750 permanent jobs for local and regional residents. The Cordish Companies is also dedicated to supporting the Bossier City community and its nonprofits through direct financial contributions, in-kind services and by facilitating community organizations’ fundraising and volunteer efforts.
