Belle of Baton Rouge riverboat to be towed to new destination
Jan 14, 2025
BATON ROUGE - A fixture in downtown Baton Rouge is being sent off Tuesday to revive a "dormant downtown area" in Terrebonne Parish. The Belle of Baton Rouge, a combination casino and hotel, is being towed from Baton Rouge to Gibson. It's slated to open in Terrebonne in fall 2025 after a "down-to-the-studs transformation" of the hotel. The renovation will also include 25,000 square feet of landside gaming. The Belle currently hosts 10,00 square feet of Vegas-style gaming space, over 240 slot machines, and three table games. The riverboat was towed from downtown Baton Rouge ON Tuesday morning. Permalink| Comments
