Harrah’s New Orleans
HISTORY
Around 1822, America’s first casino opened in New Orleans. Harrah’s New Orleans Casino opened its doors in October of 1999 on Canal Street in the heart of downtown New Orleans, steps away from the historic French Quarter and Mississippi River. The Harrah’s Hotel and Fulton Street pedestrian promenade soon followed in 2006. Currently the property is undergoing a $365 million transformation and rebranding to Caesars expected to be completed by the end of 2024.
HARRAH’S HOTEL & FULTON STREET
The Harrah’s Hotel features 450 spacious guest rooms and suites, including 10 penthouse super suites, 176 king rooms, 176 queen/queen rooms, and 88 king corner suites. The AAA Four Diamond Award-winning Harrah’s Hotel anchors Fulton Street — a pedestrian mall lined with several amenities: 501 Coffee, Ruth’s Chris Steak House, Gordon Biersch Brewery, Grand Isle Seafood and a boutique bowling spot called Fulton Alley.
CASINO
Harrah’s Casino is the area’s only land-based casino with more than 115,000 sq. ft. of gaming, including more than 1,132 slot and video poker machines, 22 hybrid table games positions, 44 electronic table game positions, 98 table games, outdoor gaming courtyards and a 20-table poker room and sportsbook. The legacy continues as Harrah’s New Orleans will become Caesars New Orleans in 2024 with expanded gaming, entertainment, and hotel accommodations.
Experience the casino’s newest gaming additions, the World Series of Poker Room and Caesars Sportsbook. The Poker Room is the largest in the state with 20 tables in 5,000 square-feet of space that offers several exciting varieties of poker. Adjacent to The WSOP Poker Room is the Caesars Sportsbook, a 5,700-square-foot, full-service sportsbook with 4 betting windows, 12 self-service betting kiosks, a 147-foot video wall, state-of-the-art audio system, private multi-display fan cave and massive 16-seat video poker bar and expansive lounge where you can grab a drink and bet like a Caesar.
REBRAND
The $365 million dollar transformation of Harrah’s New Orleans into Caesars New Orleans includes the addition of a 340-room hotel tower above the existing casino, a Nobu Hotel and Restaurant experience, new dining outlets, a new adult circus-comedy experience and more. During the transition, you can still “let the good times roll” on hot slots, video poker and table games. New amenities will open as they are completed, so now is a great time to become a Caesars Rewards Member to earn towards dining, shopping, gaming and future stays!
