KINDER, LA – Coushatta Casino Resort is now accepting reservations for its new Legacy Tower, opening May 18.
Rising eight stories, Legacy Tower includes 204 guest rooms, including 100 suites, and is connected to the gaming floor at Coushatta Casino Resort. Upon completion, the expansion will bring the property’s total room inventory to more than 1,000.
“This is one of the most significant expansions in the history of Coushatta,” said Nate Tanner, GM of Coushatta Casino Resort. “Legacy Tower allows us to grow, create jobs and deliver a higher-end experience while continuing to invest in the long-term future of the Coushatta Tribe.”
The tower includes a redesigned exterior with a seven-story LED screen, an updated porte cochère, and a new connecting lobby.
Inside, the architecture and artwork reflect the traditions of the Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana, incorporating design elements inspired by tribal basketry and cultural storytelling. The new tower honors the tribe’s history, serving as both a tribute to generations of resilience and a forward-looking investment in economic opportunity and hospitality.
Legacy Tower is part of the ongoing “Bigger, Better Coushatta” expansion, a multi-year project focused on updating accommodations, enhancing gaming areas, and adding a centralized lobby with retail space and a Starbucks café. The expansion creates new jobs, increases tourism and supports local businesses across Southwest Louisiana and East Texas.
The grand opening ceremony is scheduled for 10:00am Friday, May 15, 2026, in the new lobby. Tribal Chairman David Sickey, members of the Tribal Council, casino management, development partners and local dignitaries will mark the occasion with a ribbon cutting ceremony, special performances by tribal dancers, and a tour of the facilities.
Grand opening celebrations continue Saturday, May 16, with the $300,000 Legacy & Luxury Giveaway, featuring car and cash prizes totaling over a quarter of a million dollars.
