HARVEY, La.

 

Boomtown Casino New Orleans, a Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc. property, broke ground on a previously announced $20 million hotel project. The 150-room five-story hotel will include eight suites, a fitness center, conference space and 250 additional parking spaces.

 

The new addition will be connected to Boomtown's existing facility that includes a casino, entertainment venue, restaurants and meeting space. Construction begins immediately and is expected to take approximately 14 months to complete.

 

Pinnacle Entertainment owns and operates four unique casino properties in Louisiana; Boomtown New Orleans, Boomtown Casino Hotel Bossier City, L'Auberge Casino Resort Lake Charles and L'Auberge Casino & Hotel Baton Rouge.

Boomtown New Orleans, located on the West Bank of the Mississippi in New Orleans and approximately 15 minutes from the French Quarter, opened in 1994 and features a 30,000-square-foot casino with more than 1,400 slot machines and 32 table games, including a live poker room and high limit slots and tables. Boomtown New Orleans also offers approximately 1,700 parking spaces and features four casual and fine dining venues, a 350-seat nightclub entertainment venue and over 4,600 square feet of meeting and conference space.
