Golden Nugget Lake Charles is a 242-acre waterfront casino resort in Lake Charles, Louisiana, United States,^[1] owned and operated by Houston-based Landry's, Inc.^[2] The resort features 1038 guest rooms and suites housed in a 22-story tower, an 18-hole golf course, 30,000 square feet of meeting space, more than a dozen dining and bar options, a private beach, marina, spa & salon, retail corridor and expansive 24-hour casino floor.^[3]

History[edit]

Pinnacle Entertainment announced plans in 2006 to build Sugarcane Bay, a $350-million casino resort, next to its L'Auberge du Lac casino in Lake Charles.^[5] The plan was canceled in 2010,^[6] and Pinnacle returned the gaming license to the state.^[7]

In February 2011, the license was awarded to Creative Casinos LLC, the company of former Pinnacle chairman Dan Lee, for a $400-million casino named Mojito Pointe to be built on the Sugarcane Bay site.^[8]

Ameristar Casinos purchased Creative Casinos in June 2012 for $32.5 million, after Lee had difficulty financing construction.^[9] The project was renamed as Ameristar Lake Charles.^[9]

In December 2012, Pinnacle agreed to acquire Ameristar.^[10] In order to obtain approval for the merger from FTCantitrust regulators, Pinnacle agreed to the sale of two of the combined company's properties, including Ameristar Lake Charles.^[11] A sale agreement was reached with Landry's, Inc., parent company of the Golden Nugget casinos, who agreed to pay the costs expended on the project's development to date.^[11]

Landry's owner Tilman J. Fertitta announced improvements and upgrades to the property, investing more than $600 million in the project, one of the most expensive construction endeavors in the United States at the time. In December 2013, construction topped out on the 25-story accommodations tower.^[12] Located just two hours from Houston, Fertitta had long desired a casino-resort near the headquarters of Landry's, Inc.^[13]

The casino opened to the public on December 7, 2014.^[14]
