The plan also includes the addition of a new canopy over Fulton Street.
The new hotel would include 20,000 square feet of event space, a rooftop pool and bar, a gym and spa, and other updates to the casino including new outdoor dining, a “Best of NOLA” food hall concept that would feature well-known New Orleans restaurants, and the new Fillmore Theater, a 35,000-square-foot music venue that will be managed by Live Nation. The 24 story hotel is part of a $350 million renovation plan, which also includes new dining and entertainment options and a new theater. Harrah’s New Orleans Casino has proposed a new, 340-room luxury hotel on top of the current entrance to its casino at the foot of Canal Street.
