The Louisiana Joint Legislative Committee on the Budget recently voted to approve a new entertainment venue at Harrah’s New Orleans Casino. The facility would provide live entertainment for young adults age 20 or younger; individuals must be 21 years of age or older to enter the gambling floor.
The venue will be constructed in the casino’s 90,000 square foot second floor, currently being used for storage. Besides a live performance space, the facility may include a restaurant, dance floor or theater. Direct access will be added since those under age 21 may not enter the casino space.
Caesars Entertainment Corporation, the Louisiana Gaming Control Board and New Orleans city officials will have to approve the concept and design. Once that happens, the venue could open in 18 months.
