LAKE CHARLES, La. – The buzz has been growing louder and louder as the doors are officially set to open, and the excitement of Lake Charles’ newest casino is sure to have locals and tourists flocking.

Houston billionaire Tilman J. Fertitta, chairman, CEO and sole shareholder of Fertitta Entertainment, Inc. announced today the highly anticipated Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino Lake Charles is officially open. Located just two hours from Houston, this 1.3 million-square-foot property marks the fifth Golden Nugget and the closest to Texas.

The $700 million hotel and casino features 740 luxury hotel rooms and suites; an 18-hole championship golf course; a world-class spa; extensive retail options; an 18,000 square-foot ballroom; 30,000 square feet of meeting space; a one-of-a-kind pool; private beach front and marina; and a number of Landry’s signature restaurants. An innovative casino floor featuring 70 table games, a state-of-the-art poker room, and 1,600 of the world’s newest slot machines redefines the gaming experience across the industry.

“Golden Nugget Lake Charles is like no other gaming resort offering a first-class, Las Vegas-style atmosphere right here in the South,” said Fertitta. “We know our strong Texas and Louisiana customer base will enjoy having these unbeatable, luxury amenities closer to home. This marks our fifth Golden Nugget opening. Our Vegas, Laughlin, Atlantic City and Biloxi properties, each required a dramatic renovation and rebranding; whereas Lake Charles is our first ground-up development and articulates our style through and through.”
