Former LSU Tiger and NFL quarterback Matt Flynn led a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the sports book and placed the ceremonial first bet.

As of 9 p.m. Thursday, The Queen Baton Rouge is now open 24 hours daily.

BATON ROUGE - The new Queen Baton Rouge casino opened its doors Thursday evening, showing off a transformation two years in the making.

The former Hollywood Casino welcomed special guests to a preview event, then went public at 9 p.m. More than 1,000 people were there to see the change.

The ribbon was officially cut by Lydia Chenevert, a 30-year employee of the property.

The overhaul -- which makes the Queen Baton Rouge the city's first fully land-based casino -- cost $85 million.

Several new restaurants were part of the renewal of the site. They include Shaquille O'Neal's Big Chicken, the 3 Woks Noodle Bar and Capitol Coffee Baton Rouge.

The property's signature dining establishment is called 1717, and is described as "a dynamic bar and restaurant with a stage for live entertainment."

A Draft Kings Sports Book will feature action on a wide array of sporting events.

At this rate, Baton Rouge is going to be nothing but plants, casinos and shitty chain food restaurants.

I definitely don’t want to meet and greet the Slotaholics but I’m gonna have to check out that Slot 500 Club.

Are those lighted drones doing the 1717?

And... I want so badly for this place to be classy and a cool place to go. But we all know what it will be in 6 months. I wonder if I can place an over/under bet there on when they have the first shooting on the property?

Do they have a poker room? Laburge has become a joke at this point.

Based on what I saw last night, I’d take 3 months and the under.
