The Treasure Chest will hold a grand opening for its new land-based casino at the end of Williams Boulevard near Lake Pontchartrain in Kenner on Thursday, June 6. 
The opening marks the end of an era for the Treasure Chest’s nearby riverboat casino, which will stop taking bets at 11:59 p.m on Saturday, June 1. 
The new land-based facility features a 48,000-square-foot gambling hall — twice the size of its water-based counterpart — and over 8,000 square feet of convention space, alongside four new restaurants. It cost around $100 million to construct. 
Owned by Nevada-based Boyd Gaming Corp., the Treasure Chest opened in a replica riverboat on Lake Pontchartrain in Kenner in 1994, with one restaurant and no convention space. 
The Treasure Chest is latest casino to make the move onto land after the Louisiana Legislature in 2018 approved a law allowing riverboat casinos to operate onshore. 
The Treasure Chest has long been a significant source of revenue for Kenner and officials expect the new land-based casino to be a boon for the city’s coffers. 
“We anticipate this to be a catalyst for a surge in economic development, increasing sales tax, and increased riverboat fees, upon which Kenner heavily depends,” Mayor Michael Glaser wrote in a letter accompanying his latest budget proposal. 
The casino’s move comes as officials explore new ways to redevelop Kenner’s Laketown. In April, Jefferson Parish 4th District Council member Arita Bohannan unveiled plans to build an outdoor amphitheater with seating for 7,500 people, boardwalk and observation point in an undeveloped field on Laketown’s western edge. 
A “last bets ceremony” will take place at 11:59 p.m. on June 1 at the Treasure Chest riverboat casino, followed by a second line and banner drop, according to a press release. 
Doors to the new casino located at 4540 Williams Boulevard will open at 8 a.m. June 6.
