Hollywood Casino New Orleans Set to Open | New Orleans News

from New Orleans News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Penn Entertainment’s $195 million gamble on Boomtown Casino in Harvey is about to pay off big—ditching the riverboat days for a massive, dry-land Hollywood Casino New Orleans. This isn’t just a casino upgrade; it’s a full-blown economic shot in the arm for Jefferson Parish, promising hundreds of construction jobs, permanent roles, and tax dollars reinvested in parks and infrastructure. With 875 slots, 45 table games, a sportsbook, and dining spots, this 140,000-square-foot destination is poised to become a West Bank magnet—with approval expected this Thursday and opening slated for 2029.
