Caesars Entertainment commenced a $325 million renovation of Harrah\u2019s New Orleans in January 2021, and the operator said that effort will accelerate next month.<\/p>\n

Some of the more visible alterations to the lone casino-hotel in the Crescent City that will be seen in early 2023. They include renovations to 25% of the gaming area and external changes that are in line with the operator\u2019s properties bearing the Caesars Palace name. Caesars will eventually pull the Harrah\u2019s name<\/a> from the venue, renaming it Caesars New Orleans. But a time line for that move hasn\u2019t been announced.<\/p>\n

As reported by Stephanie Riegel for NOLA.com<\/em>, the current phase of improvements at the integrated resort is scheduled to be completed by next April. All renovations are slated to be finished by the summer of 2024.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The real estate of Harrah\u2019s New Orleans is owned by VICI Properties. The landlord acquired that property, Harrah\u2019s Laughlin, and Harrah\u2019s Atlantic City for $3.2 billion<\/a> as part of Eldorado\u2019s takeover of Caesars. However, costs to spruce up the venue fall to Caesars.<\/p>\n

New Orleans Part of Bigger Louisiana Plans<\/h2>\n

The $325 million Caesars is spending to bolster its New Orleans casino-resort is part of an approximately $500 million spending plan in Louisiana.<\/p>\n

The state is one of the largest gaming markets in the US and is home to several Caesars-operated venues beyond New Orleans. The expenditures in the state were pledged by the company to regulators in 2019.<\/p>\n

\n

When Eldorado Resorts was courting \u201cold Caesars,\u201d CEO Tom Reeg promised the Louisiana Gaming Control Board (LGCB) the company would spend $500 million through 2024<\/a> refurbishing its Pelican State properties. Reeg is now chief executive of \u201cnew Caesars.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

As part of its commitment to shore up its Louisiana properties, Caesars landed monopoly protection for the New Orleans venue through 2054.<\/p>\n

Harrah\u2019s New Orleans Courting More Big Spenders<\/h2>\n

Harrah\u2019s New Orleans opened in 1999, and while that\u2019s not particularly old for a hotel or gaming venue, the industry is evolving rapidly, as are consume tastes. That indicates casino operators need to stay on top of those shifting demands.<\/p>\n

On a related noted, part of the renovation effort at the New Orleans casino property includes significant additions to available guest rooms. A new 340-room hotel is being built next to the gaming property, and two of its 14 floors will be a posh Nobu Hotel aimed at affluent clientele.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Harrah\u2019s New Orleans<\/a> already has 450 rooms. But the added space is necessary because in the past, the venue had to send guests — many of whom were VIPs — to rival hotels during busy periods. It\u2019s possible that with added accommodations, \u00a0the debut of the Nobu floors and the transition to the Caesars name, the New Orleans casino-resort will be better able to attract and retain high-end bettors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
