A major player in the gaming and leisure industry, Cordish, is set to acquire the DiamondJacks casino property in Louisiana. The company has ambitious plans for a complete overhaul, converting the existing riverboat casino into a land-based establishment. Imagine the excitement of Las Vegas, but nestled in the heart of Louisiana! This revitalized venue is scheduled to debut in 2020 under Cordish’s renowned “Live!” brand, already generating considerable buzz throughout the United States.
Cordish’s vision extends far beyond this single venture. They are actively developing a network of casino resorts, with projects emerging from Texas to Florida and spanning the Southern region. A leading figure at Cordish, Joe Weinberg, expressed their enthusiasm for introducing their “Live!” concept to Louisiana and establishing a premier destination encompassing a comprehensive range of offerings: gaming options, dining experiences, entertainment choices, and more. This latest endeavor promises increased employment opportunities and a significant boost to the local economy.
Foundation Gaming & Entertainment co-CEO, Greg Guida, shared his enthusiasm for the collaboration with The Cordish Companies. He anticipates that introducing the Live! brand to Northwest Louisiana will be a significant positive development for the area, drawing in tourists and stimulating economic growth.
Guida commended Cordish’s standing for excellence and conveyed his assurance in a fruitful partnership.
