Coushatta Casino Resort debuts Legacy Tower, marking major expansion

Summary

Coushatta Casino Resort, Louisiana’s largest casino resort, has opened reservations for its new Legacy Tower, scheduled to open to guests on 18 May 2026. The eight‑storey tower adds 204 guest rooms — including 100 luxury suites — and links directly to the region’s largest gaming floor. Once complete, the resort’s room inventory will exceed 1,000 rooms and the property will offer nearly 2,000 slot and table games, plus live poker, bingo and sports betting.

The tower features a striking exterior with a seven‑storey LED screen, a redesigned porte cochère and a new connecting lobby. Interior design and artwork pay tribute to the Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana, drawing on tribal basketry and storytelling. Legacy Tower is the centrepiece of the multi‑year “Bigger, Better Coushatta” expansion, which also adds a centralised lobby, retail outlets and a Starbucks Café. The project is expected to create jobs, boost tourism and support local businesses in Southwest Louisiana and East Texas. A grand opening ceremony is planned for 15 May 2026.
