Pinnacle Entertainment on Tuesday announced plans for a US$20 million hotel project at its Boomtown Casino New Orleans property.
The 150-room, five-story hotel will include suites, a fitness center and meeting space along with 250 additional parking spaces. The addition will be connected to Boomtown’s existing facility, which includes a casino, entertainment venue, restaurants and meeting space.
Construction is expected to begin within 60 days and take approximately 13 months to complete. The hotel addition will create approximately 50 new permanent jobs and more than 150 construction-related jobs. The Louisiana-based Lemoine Co. will be the general contractor.
Pinnacle Entertainment owns and operates four properties in Louisiana: Boomtown New Orleans, Boomtown Casino Hotel Bossier City, L’Auberge Casino Resort Lake Charles and L’Auberge Casino & Hotel Baton Rouge, which is scheduled to open this summer, pending regulatory approval.
