New Hotel Being Added to Evangeline Downs Racetrack and Casino
A new hotel being added to Evangeline Downs Racetrack and Casino is expected to have a tremendous impact on St. Landry Parish.
Just in time for Christmas, the city of Opelousas celebrated the ground breaking of a new hotel and the latest jewel on the crown for Evangeline Race Track and Casino.
The owners of Evangeline Downs Racetrack and Casino hope that by building the hotel, it will bring lots of traffic to the city. The hotel is expected to bring 100 to 200 new jobs to the city. They're hoping it will revolutionize the gaming entertainment industry and increase the city's revenue to help revamp roads and schools.
City Officials are not the only ones looking forward to seeing this hotel built, regular visitors are also excited. The hotel will be built right next to the casino and is only one of several phases in the expansion of the racetrack and casino. Peninsula Gaming, the owner of the racetrack and casino, says this new project represents a significant milestone in the growth of their company and the city.
The hotel is expected to be finished within a year. |
