Gold-plated shovels in hand, officials broke ground Tuesday on Kenner’s new land-based Treasure Chest Casino, a more than $100 million development that will replace the aging riverboat of the same name when it opens in early 2024.


quote:

Located at the north end of Williams Boulevard at Lake Pontchartrain, the “state-of-the-art” facility owned by Boyd Gaming will include a 47,000-square-foot gambling hall – twice the size of its water-based counterpart – and 10,000 square foot of convention space, alongside new restaurants, bars and a FanDuel Sportsbook.


quote:

And last year, Las Vegas-based Atlantis Gaming announced plans for a new $450 million, 40-acre “total destination resort” in Laketown, with shops, condominiums and, possibly, gambling. The status of that development, however, remains up in the air.


RIP the boat, but I wonder what the odds are this "total destination resort" comes to fruition

It's happening. They started work on the parking lot over a year ago.

The thing that isn't happening is the Atlantis project with Warren Moon attached.

Now that Slidell won't be having a yacht club, I'd say there's a real opening in the market for Kenner.

Sign me up for a Kenner Yacht Club tshirt.

Water couldn't contain all the trashiness so it had to evolve to a land based form, just like the early reptiles.

Long overdue. For years there was some legal issues with the Copelands which probably stalled hotel or upgrades.

It's a hotel and convention center place. It's operating like normal.
