BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) -
The Louisiana Gaming Control Board heard from the president of Pinnacle Thursday morning.
L'Auberge Baton Rouge still anticipates a summer 2012 opening and expects to be open by Labor Day.
The total estimated project is $368 million. It increased from an estimated $357 million due to the river delays in spring of 2011.
The truly unique casino entertainment complex will feature: an expansive single-level, 74,000 square foot casino; nearly 1,500 slot machines; 50 table games, including a poker room; a 12-story hotel with 206 guest rooms and a rooftop pool; three dining outlets; a unique casino bar with breathtaking views of the Mississippi River; 2,400 total parking spaces, including 800 in a covered parking garage; a multi-purpose event center with concert seating for up to 1,600 people or banquet seating for up to 800 people; and outdoor festival grounds with capacity for up to 2,500.
The project will create more than 1,000 new permanent jobs for Baton Rouge with hiring beginning in the first quarter of 2012.
Employment updates and available positions are posted at www.LBatonRouge.com.
The president of Pinnacle said he hopes L'Auberge Baton Rouge will be open in September.
