Kenner’s iconic Treasure Chest Casino has embarked on a new voyage, transitioning from its historic riverboat to a $100 million land-based gaming and dining complex. The grand opening of the new facility marks a significant milestone in Louisiana’s gaming industry, offering patrons twice the gaming space, an array of dining options, and a sprawling ballroom for events.
A Gamble on Land
The new Treasure Chest Casino stands proudly at the north end of Williams Boulevard, boasting a 47,000 square foot gambling hall that dwarfs its aquatic predecessor. With 900 slot machines and 32 table games, the casino promises a diverse and vibrant gaming experience. The shift from water to land represents not only a physical move but also a strategic bet on the future of gaming in the region.
The casino floor is designed with the comfort of guests in mind, ensuring a less congested atmosphere than the riverboat. This spacious environment allows for a more relaxed and enjoyable gaming experience, where every patron can find their niche.
Culinary Jackpot
Beyond the clinking of slot machines and the shuffling of cards, the Treasure Chest Casino has hit the jackpot with its culinary offerings. Four new restaurants have opened their doors, each presenting a unique flavor profile. Alder & Birch Steakhouse caters to the refined palate, while The Game sports bar and grill offers a casual dining experience with a side of live sports action. Infusion provides a mix of sit-down meals and quick bites for those on the go, and Lakeside Café serves up authentic Creole cuisine with a view.
These establishments aim to transform the casino into a dining destination, filling a void for exceptional dining in Kenner’s Laketown area. The variety and quality of the restaurants are set to attract both locals and tourists, adding a new dimension to the casino’s appeal.
The House of Events
The Treasure Chest Casino’s commitment to becoming a hub for entertainment is further solidified by its 8,000-square-foot ballroom. This versatile space is designed to host a myriad of events, from corporate meetings to social gatherings. The ballroom’s modern amenities and elegant design make it an ideal location for any event, promising to leave a lasting impression on attendees.
The inclusion of a ballroom in the casino’s blueprint underscores the vision of creating a comprehensive entertainment experience, one that goes beyond gaming and dining.
