Houston’s New Golden Nugget Casino Opening
The Houston area has a new gem, a brand new precious something that has lit up the scene for gamblers in the area. The newest casino in the Houston area, The Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino Lake Charles, cut the ribbon and flung open its doors this past Monday and the gambling enthusiasts flooded in after Tilman J. Fertitta, CEO and sole shareholder of Fertitta Entertainment, Inc. announced the grand opening. This brand new 1.3 million-square-foot luxury casino is located only two hours outside of Houston and is the fifth Golden Nugget and the closest one to Texas.
The Golden Nugget is truly a luxury in every sense. The $700 million hotel and casino contains 740 luxury hotel rooms and suites, an 18-hole championship golf course, a world-class spa, wide-ranging retail options, an 18,000 square-foot ballroom, 30,000 square feet of meeting space, a matchless and unique pool, a private beach front and marina, and many of Landry’s signature restaurants.
Fertitta commented on the world-class casino. “Golden Nugget Lake Charles is like no other gaming resort offering a first-class, Las Vegas-style atmosphere right here in the South,” said Fertitta. “We know our strong Texas and Louisiana customer base will enjoy having these unbeatable, luxury amenities closer to home. This marks our fifth Golden Nugget opening. Our Vegas, Laughlin, Atlantic City and Biloxi properties, each required a dramatic renovation and rebranding; whereas Lake Charles is our first ground-up development and articulates our style through and through.”
Lake Charles has always been a very popular spot for Texans, but now even more so. It is located hours away from the three Top markets in Texas, which are Houston, San Antonio, and Austin. These three metropolitan centers combined generate 65% of the gaming revenue in Lake Charles.
