Hollywood Casino on track to open land-based casino in late spring 2023
The Advocate
Hollywood Casino Baton Rouge is set to get a new name in late spring 2023, the same time the downtown casino opens its $70 million landside expansion.
Terry Downey, president and CEO of CQ Holding Company, said it took longer than expected to put in the pilings for the dockside expansion. When ground was broken on the expansion in August, it was set for completion in the second half of 2022.
“It took the river a while to drop down,” he said. Because of the casino’s proximity to the levee, work can’t go on when the Mississippi River is over a certain level.
The casino will feature a DraftKings sportsbook, a Shaquille O’Neal’s Big Chicken restaurant, a coffee shop and a noodle restaurant.

After the expansion is complete, CQ will look at adding a hotel to Hollywood Casino.
The company has had internal discussions about building a hotel on the property, but the company wants to get the expansion up and running before taking a serious look at it, Downey said.

I always had a good time at Hollywood. The Belle is an unmitigated shite hole and should be closed but Hollywood is always a good time despite its northern location.

It's definitely the better of the 2 downtown casinos although I haven't been in maybe 10 years.

hopefully they have live poker Lauberge reopened theirs but reduced the number of tables and it's hard as shite to get in a game
