The venue invited visitors to enjoy gaming, dining, and drinks in a thrilling atmosphere. Marketing Vice President Joshua Robinson spoke of his excitement at unveiling the project and the chance to “show northwest Louisiana and beyond what we’ve been working on this last year.”

Senior Vice President of Property Operations Bryan Prettyman spoke of the benefits of Live!’s land-based design, which offers guests a more spacious and convenient experience.

One benefit of being the first landside casino in this market is you can go from your car to the casino in just a few steps. You can walk from your hotel room to the casino floor and over to a restaurant all within a few feet of each other.

Gaming, Cocktails and Dining

Guests enjoyed an exciting gaming experience while sipping craft cocktails and indulging in fine dining. The Prime Rib and Ridotto Grand Café both provide a welcoming environment where guests under 21 can dine with family and friends.

The Prime Rib manager, Jason Ezell, raved about one of the standout dishes, a bone-in filet with an Oscar topping complete with citrus beurre blanc, crab meat, and asparagus and then a lobster tail on top of all that, which he believes will ensure that people “have a really good time”.

For sports fans, Live! offers an immersive game-day experience at Sports & Social, which is located directly on the gaming floor. Guests will find craft beers, live music, and sports betting in a high-energy setting.
