Gambling Boats In Louisiana
The zest of New Orleans infuses the Treasure Chest Casino, and the vibrant atmosphere of famous events and destinations like Las Vegas, the Caribbean, and Mardi Gras are reflected throughout the riverboat. Located in the New Orleans suburb of Kenner, Treasure Chest features 24,000 square feet of dockside casino action along Lake Pontchartrain. Today’s Louisiana riverboats are all about fun and exploration, but exactly how you choose to cruise is up to you! At ports of call in New Orleans and other Louisiana river towns, you can hop aboard to see the sights, dine and dance, learn and love, get a taste of river life, roll the dice or just relax. The images showed the Isle of Capris Casino stuck under the bridge after Hurricane Laura rolled through southwest Louisiana early Thursday. State officials said later that afternoon the boat was. Earlier this year, Casino.org reported on the Louisiana state plans to move riverboat casinos onshore. Now the senate committee has approved the bill, so let’s pay tribute to these historic icons. Louisiana took in $715 million in gambling taxes and about $712 million in severance and other mineral-related taxes for the fiscal year that ended June 30. About 22 employees will lose boat.
