The Lake Charles area of Louisiana has become a haven lately for casinos, taking advantage of its close proximity to the Texas border. In particular, being only two hours drive away from Houston, it brings in a lot of travelers from the region who are looking for a gambling getaway.

The plans for this particular casino resort were first laid in 2006, when Pinnacle Entertainment received a license from the State of Louisiana to build a $300 million gambling resort called Sugarcane Bay on the 242 acre waterfront property.

They ended up not going ahead with it, and in 2011, the license was given to former Pinnacle Chairman Dan Lee, and his new company Creative Casinos, however he was unable to get the financing to build it. He ended up selling Creative Casinos to Ameristar in 2012, which included the license for this property.

Later in 2012, Pinnacle acquired Ameristar, so the project had come full circle now and the license for Sugarcane Bay was back in their hands again. However, due to antitrust concerns, they were forced to sell it to get the Ameristar deal approved by regulators, and Landry’s, who operate the Golden Nugget brand, bought it.

This casino finally got built in 2013, and ended up naming it the Golden Nugget Lake Charles. Landry’s was particularly happy to build it since they had been looking for a casino close to their headquarters in Houston, Texas, for some time, and their brand of restaurants is well known there, and they were looking to feed off of that to get more Texans to come over.

So as things turned out, Landry’s was definitely the company to do it, as they upped the original plan to spend $320 to build it all the way up to $600 million to make this the most impressive resort casino in the area.

This turned out to be a good bet for them, as the Golden Nugget Lake Charles has won numerous awards and is considered by many to be the finest casino in Louisiana.
