The Louisiana Gaming Control Board has given the go-ahead to Cordish Companies to renovate the DiamondJacks Casino in Bossier City. Cordish Companies plans to transform the property with a $270 million renovation into Live! Casino & Hotel Louisiana.
The board unanimously voted and gave its approval Thursday, Oct. 19.
Cordish Companies plans to turn the property into the Shreveport-Bossier area’s first land-based casino by replacing the existing riverboat. The new casino is scheduled to open sometime in 2025.
“We’re grateful to the Louisiana Gaming Control Board for their approval and thank them for their consideration and enthusiastic support through this process,” said Joe Weinberg, managing partner with Cordish Companies.
