Caesars Entertainment commemorates the completion of a $435 million renovation project at Caesars New Orleans
In a historic moment for the city of New Orleans, Caesars New Orleans officially opened its doors on October 22, 2024, following a significant $435 million transformation of the former Harrah's property.
The grand opening celebration was a public event, drawing a crowd to Canal Street outside the casino. The ceremony was led by Caesars Entertainment CEO Tom Reeg, President & COO Anthony Carano, and Caesars New Orleans General Manager, Samir Mowad.
The event was marked by a procession featuring Caesar, an iconic New Orleans second-line band, adding a touch of local culture to the festivities. Caesars Entertainment Team Members and Mayor Latoya Cantrell were also present to commemorate the milestone.
While details about the specific renovations and upgrades to the property are not extensively documented, the transformation is said to have significantly modernised the casino, enhancing the guest experience. However, it's worth noting that a recent sports betting technology upgrade, the introduction of a universal digital wallet for the Caesars Sportsbook app in Nevada, is not specific to the New Orleans property.
The grand opening of Caesars New Orleans marks a significant step in the transformation of the New Orleans casino scene, signalling a new era for entertainment in the city. For those seeking more detailed information about the property's transformative changes, official press releases from Caesars Entertainment, local news sources, or the property's website would provide a more comprehensive account.
The casino-and-gambling premises now boast a modernized setting following the transformation of the former Harrah's property, which is now known as Caesars New Orleans. In celebration of the grand opening, various casino-games such as poker are anticipated to be available for the enjoyment of guests.
