Cordish Companies celebrates construction milestone with topping off ceremony
The company was joined by multiple guests to see the final commemorative beam being raised to complete the new Louisiana property.
In the first quarter of 2025, a new $270m+ Live! Casino and Hotel will be brought to the state of Louisiana and serve as a regional destination. First however, LRGC Gaming Investors, an affiliate of the Cordish Companies, celebrated a significant milestone in the construction of the new building, holding a topping off ceremony for the final beam being put into place.
“Today marks an incredibly special day for the Cordish Companies as we continue to expand our Live! brand in the Southeast region of the country with the development of Live! Casino and Hotel Louisiana,” Cordish Gaming Group President Rob Norton said.
“With the first land-based casino in the market, Live! Casino and Hotel will be a transformative development that will bring a first-class gaming and entertainment experience to millions of visitors, create significant new jobs and generate millions of dollars in economic benefits for the community for generations to come.”
The Cordish Companies and general contractor AnderCorp were joined by Louisiana Director of Intergovernmental Affairs Kyle Ardoin, Louisiana Gaming Control Board Chairman Chris Hebert, Louisiana Senator Sam Jenkins Jr. and many others to celebrate the final commemorative beam being raised to complete the superstructure of the property.
“I am honored to lead the Board at such an exciting time for the gaming industry in Louisiana. Our team has worked so hard to establish this first land-based casino in the Bossier market, and we are ecstatic to be one step closer to realizing it with today’s topping off of Live! Casino and Hotel Louisiana,” Hebert said.
Live! Casino and Hotel Louisiana will feature more than 47,000 sq ft of gaming space, more than 1,000 slots and electronic table games, more than 40 live action table games and a sportsbook.
The project is projected to generate more than $35m in gaming tax revenues for Bossier City and more than $168m for the state of Louisiana within its first five years of operation. It is also estimated to create approximately 1,500 new jobs including 750 new construction jobs and approximately 750 permanent jobs for local and regional residents.
