Hollywood Casino Baton Rouge is set to get a new name in late spring 2023, the same time the downtown casino opens its $70 million landside expansion.
Terry Downey, president and CEO of CQ Holding Company, said it took longer than expected to put in the pilings for the dockside expansion. When ground was broken on the expansion in August, it was set for completion in the second half of 2022.
“It took the river a while to drop down,” he said. Because of the casino’s proximity to the levee, work can’t go on when the Mississippi River is over a certain level.
