Exciting Times in Bossier City as New Casino Takes Shape
Bossier City is buzzing with excitement as more than 1,000 shiny new slot machines are being rolled onto the gaming floor of the upcoming Live! Casino & Hotel. This marks a thrilling milestone for the Cordish Company as they gear up for the grand opening of their much-anticipated Louisiana resort. Residents and visitors alike are eager to know one nagging question: When will the jackpot bells start ringing? Joshua Robinson, the vice president of marketing with the company, recently shared some insights. He affirmed, “We’re still on target for early 2025” but kept the specific date under wraps. “We’re getting closer and closer every day,” he added cheerfully.
What to Expect from the New Venue
The Live! Casino & Hotel represents a whopping $270 million investment and is set to feature not only a sprawling 47,000 square feet of gaming space but also event spaces, a hotel, and delightful restaurants. As construction progresses, the company is also busily hiring about 750 permanent employees, which will certainly give a boost to the local economy.
As slot machines take their place on the gaming floor, Robinson emphasizes the importance of security. He stated, “When the first machines hit the floor, this became an active gaming space.” That means strict measures are now in place, and anyone under 21 years old will not be allowed on the gaming floor even during construction. The arrival of these machines, featuring popular brands like Dragon Cash and the classic Double Diamond, showcases just how serious the establishment is about catering to gaming enthusiasts.
More Than Just a Casino
Live! Casino & Hotel will be the first land-based casino in the Shreveport-Bossier market, and officials are convinced it will become a destination resort that draws in tourists and convention-goers from across Louisiana and beyond. Jon Cordish, a partner with The Cordish Companies, previously mentioned that the casino will offer a vibe that rivals top gaming markets, including Las Vegas. “It’s going to have a quality and energy that when you walk into this property, you’ll feel like you’re in a premier casino and resort,” he noted enthusiastically.
Job Opportunities Galore
For those on the lookout for employment, the new casino has plenty of opportunities, with positions available across all operations of the resort—from hotel management to security and surveillance. If you’re interested, you can check out available jobs posted at their official careers website. There’s sure to be a role for everyone!
Prepare for a Wow Factor
When people step through the doors of the Live! Casino, they will be met with what Robinson lovingly refers to as a “wow factor.” This immersive entertainment destination is designed to dazzle visitors, featuring not just gaming but exciting entertainment venues and delicious dining experiences too. Restaurants like The Prime Rib and Luk Fu are poised to serve up unforgettable meals.
