Caesars New Orleans, formerly Harrah's New Orleans, is a casino in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States, near the foot of Canal Street a block away from the Mississippi River. It is a 115,000 sq ft (10,700 m2) casino with approximately 2,100 slot machines, over 90 table games and a poker room.[1] The casino is owned by Vici Properties and operated by Caesars Entertainment.
Originally opening in 1999 as Harrah's New Orleans, the casino holds the status as being the only land-based casino in the state of Louisiana. It features one of the largest gaming floors in the United States outside of Nevada and several other amenities spread across four city blocks, including eateries from high-profile restaurateurs including Emeril Lagasse and Nobu Matsuhisa, a large sportsbook, a bowling alley, a Manning's sports bar, and two hotel towers.
The casino shut down in the wake of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 but reopened in the midst of Mardi Gras on February 17, 2006.
The location of the casino was most recently previously the site of the Rivergate Convention Center, demolished in 1995. A short tunnel built as part of the canceled Vieux Carré Riverfront Expressway is used for valet parking and for an entrance passing underneath Poydras Street.
