The gaming board’s approval allows for demolition of the Inn – the older hotel on the Isle property that sustained severe damage from Hurricane Laura. Eldorado completed its $17.3 billion purchase of Caesars in July 2020 and took the Caesars name.
At that time, the casino was set to be rebranded as Eldorado Resorts. The gaming board in December 2019 approved the Isle relocating its riverboat casino to land, the first to get state approval. Act 469, approved by the Louisiana Legislature in the 2018 session, allowed riverboat licenses to relocate within 1,200 feet of their berth to a land-based space.
