Downtown Baton Rouge’s gaming, hotel and entertainment scene is getting a major boost!
The area’s two casinos—the Belle of Baton Rouge and the Queen Baton Rouge have undergone extensive upgrades with more changes coming soon. Following the Queen’s debut as Baton Rouge’s first landside casino in 2023, the Belle of Baton Rouge moved into a temporary landside casino space in 2024 while a complete landside renovation is transforming the entertainment and gaming complex that was once a historical building.

And there’s more to come at the two properties, which were acquired earlier this year by Bally’s Corporation, a respected name in gambling, betting and entertainment.
The hotel, now rebranded as Bally’s Baton Rouge Hotel, recently underwent a down-to-the-studs renovation and opened with reimagined rooms and amenities bringing 242 luxurious rooms and suites to downtown Baton Rouge inventory.
Conveniently located near the Raising Cane’s River Center, “it will be ideal for anyone who wants to attend an event, convention or conference,” says Lauren Westerfield, a spokesperson for the project. “That is a complete renovation of 242 rooms. There are multiple types of suites available, including some which have views of Tiger Stadium. It is the crowning jewel.”
