Casino Jobs Available in Bossier City as Live! Louisiana Seeks to Fill 750 Positions
The Cordish Companies is gearing up to open their Live! Casino & Hotel Louisiana in Bossier City and is in need of filling approximately 750 positions. The $270 million project is set to open its doors in the first quarter of 2025, bringing a wave of employment opportunities to the area.
John Chaszar, the executive vice president and general manager of Live! Louisiana, expressed the company’s excitement in building an exceptional team. Whether you are an industry professional or someone looking to start a new career, there are opportunities available for everyone. The positions range from hotel and gaming operations to finance, marketing, human resources, information technologies, food and beverage, facilities, security, and surveillance. Both full-time and part-time positions are being offered across all departments and shifts.
The salaries, wages, and tips projected for the Live! Louisiana workforce amount to $34 million annually, averaging at about $45,333 per employee. This is significantly higher than the average worker’s income in Bossier City, which was less than $30,800 in 2022. Chaszar emphasized that this influx of income will not only benefit individual livelihoods but also have a positive impact on the regional economy.
The investment by Cordish in the Bossier City/Shreveport gaming market is seen as a potential turnaround for the area. The gross gaming revenue (GGR) from the five operating casinos in Bossier/Shreveport during the state’s 2024 fiscal year was approximately $517.7 million. This was a decrease from the pre-pandemic levels of over $626.4 million in 2019 and nearly $667 million in 2016. The closure of Diamond Jacks during the pandemic left the market in a state of disrepair until Cordish stepped in to revitalize the property.
The Live! Casino & Hotel Louisiana will offer a variety of amenities, including a 47,000 square foot casino floor with over 1,000 slot machines and electronic table gaming positions, 40 live dealer tables, and a sportsbook. The renovation plans also include updating all 550 hotel guestrooms, the resort pool, fitness center, meeting rooms, restaurant spaces, and the addition of an RV park with paved concrete pads and full hookups.
Overall, the opening of Live! Louisiana and the job opportunities it brings signify a positive step forward for the Bossier City gaming market and the local economy. If you are looking to start a career in the casino and hospitality industry, now is the perfect time to apply for one of the 750 positions available at Live! Casino & Hotel Louisiana.
