Bossier City’s New $270 Million Casino Set to Open in February
For more than a year, we've been hearing about the new Live! Casino & Resort in Bossier City, Louisiana. The old DiamondJacks facility was sold to Cordish Gaming back in October of 2023. While there have been regular updates on the progress of the new $270 million facility, the one thing we haven't heard is an 'official' date for the grand opening. The last update we heard was that they would be opening some time in the first 1st quarter of 2025. Well, after 2 years in the making, we finally know when can experience the new Live! Casino first hand.
Live! Casino Bossier City Set To Open in February
According to several sources and a release issued by Cordish Gaming, the new $270 million Live! Casino in Bossier City is scheduled to open in time for Valentine's Day. The new luxury gaming facility and resort is scheduled to open on Thursday February 13th, 2025. It is noted that date is pending final approval of the gaming control board.
To put it in perspective, Live! is a BIG facility. At one time, they were looking to fill over 750 positions at the new casino. So, gambler or not, this is going to be more than just a casino - it's going to be a luxury resort with live entertainment and a whole lot more.

What to Expect from the New Live! Casino in Bossier City
If you've never been to be one of the Live! properties across the country, you're in for a treat. The only one I've ever personally visited is the Maryland location. But, based on my one experience there, I'm really looking forward to seeing the Bossier City location in action. Other locations in the Live! chain have featured A-list talent like Jerry Seinfeld, Kevin Hart, Ice Cube and countless others.
With that said, Live! in Bossier already has numerous artists on their schedule to open up the new facility including Walker Hayes, the Commodores, Matt Mathews and Clint Black. You can find more details about their upcoming live entertainment here.
The Casino will also feature several high-end dining options and bars including the Sports & Social Bar, the PBR Cowboy Bar, Luk Fu Asian Kitchen, the Prime Rib and Ridotto Grand Café.
