The new addition will be connected to Boomtown's existing
facility that includes a casino, entertainment venue, restaurants

experience for Pinnacle Entertainment guests who come to visit the
New Orleans area from around the country."

Jefferson Parish, providing tangible benefits such as jobs,
infrastructure improvements, and positive community outreach," says

a time when many communities are struggling, we are pleased to work
closely with the Boomtown management team on this exciting hotel
project, bringing new jobs and continued economic development to
