The Cordish enterprise is wagering a substantial $270 million on the state of Louisiana with their latest venture, Live! Casino & Hotel. This establishment is not merely another gaming facility; it will be the inaugural land-based casino in the Shreveport-Bossier City vicinity, a momentous occasion commemorated by a recent groundbreaking event attended by prominent local dignitaries. This undertaking, spearheaded by Cordish’s LRGC Gaming Investors, aims to be revolutionary, elevating the region into a premier entertainment hub. Anticipate a significant boost to the local economy, with estimates of $35 million in tax revenue for Bossier City alone within the first five years and a staggering $168 million for the state. Moreover, the project will generate employment opportunities – 750 construction jobs initially, followed by 750 permanent positions within the casino and hotel. Jon Cordish, the leader of Cordish Companies, aptly described Live! Casino & Hotel as a transformative development poised to deliver a world-class experience to countless individuals, create employment, and infuse millions into the community for years to come.
Prepare yourselves, Louisiana, as Live! Casino & Hotel makes its debut in 2025!

Anticipate a total overhaul, featuring more than 47,000 square feet dedicated to thrilling gaming action.
