The 0 million Golden Nugget Lake Charles in Louisiana opened in December, and owner Tilman Fertitta said, “It had better be real full. With a 0 million investment, you’d better have a lot of people out there. Just look around; it’s got our touch on it. We like to finish everything off. It is a big number but that is just what I do.”
Fertitta’s fifth gaming property, the Golden Nugget Lake Charles is just a two-hour drive from Houston. “To have it next to Houston, Texas, which is our home, just makes it really special,” Fertitta said. He noted 50,000 of the 60,000 players who already have signed up for the players club are from Texas.
Golden Nugget Lake Charles will offer 70 table games, 1,600 new slot machines and a state-of-the-art poker room.
Other amenities include luxury rooms and suites, a world-class spa, five bars and lounges, eight boutiques and gift shops and an 18-hole championship golf course.
