Skip the buffet unless you want mudbugs on Tues. Or Weds., though the Asian place was halfway decent. Desserts are slung out without care for presentation, and as my dining companion said, 'that meal was totally unsatisfying.'
Louisiana has a very rich gambling history, dating back to the early days of New Orleans, and this tradition continues. Louisiana has a total of 18 casinos and ranks fifth among states in terms of overall casino revenue.
The L’Auberge Casino Resort is owned by Pinnacle Entertainment, a company that got its start in the horse racing business in California al the way back in 1938, when Jack Warner of Warner Bros. fame opened Hollywood Park.
In the late 90’s the company started looking toward the casino market, and in 1998 the racetrack was sold once they got a license to open a casino in Indiana, the modestly sized Belterra Casino Resort.
The L’Auberge Lake Charles was their second project, completed and opened in 2005. Their business expanded from there, and Pinnacle Entertainment currently owns and operates 16 casinos around the country now, including the Ameristar franchise.
Lake Charles itself is a modestly sized city, with a metro population of about 200,000, so it’s not that the location is remote, and visitors also get to take advantage of all of the attractions and amenities in the area in addition to what the L’Auberge has to offer. There are also a couple of other casinos in the area to check out at the same time.
Casino gambling contributes significantly to the economy of Lake Charles, and the L’Auberge alone employs 2,400 people. In spite of it only being a medium sized casino as far as the size of its casino floor goes, with 70,000 square feet of gaming space, it has a 1000 room hotel and gets 400,000 visitors a month, so they do a lot of business here.
The Amenities at L’Auberge Casino Resort Lake Charles
The L’Auberge gets a lot of drive up traffic, but they do have nice accommodations for those who would like to stay a while, either on a business trip or for pleasure, and they have non stop gambling to keep you as entertained as you wish during your stay with them.
They offer guests the choice of either a luxury or a premium luxury room. This hotel isn’t really that old but has recently been renovated to bring it more up to date. The décor here is more “classic” than at some casino hotels, but they are well appointed and do live up to their claim of luxury quite well.
They also offer a choice of several suites, for those who need or just prefer a little more space. The stately appeal of their rooms carries over, and the suites are even more stately in fact, and you can also get suites with additional amenities such as a billiard table or a garden suite.
The rates here tend to be on the higher side as far as hotel casinos go, but this is a product of the market, being located in a city, where prices tend to be higher.
Don’t expect deals like you would see in Vegas or Atlantic City though, you’re looking at $150 and up even with their room deals. However, demand for their rooms here is high and the hotel is well regarded generally.
One of the biggest appeals of this property is their championship 18 hole golf course, the Tom Fazio designed Contraband Bayou. The rates here are very reasonable as well as far as golf courses go, as low as $39, and hotel guests get preferred rates.
