March 1, 2024

Kinder, LA – Chairman Jonathan Cernek and members of the Coushatta Tribal Council, and Coushatta Casino Resort General Manager Todd Stewart will be joined by principals from TBE Architects, Yates Construction and the Wenaha Group to participate in a groundbreaking ceremony at 10am Wednesday, March 20. The ceremony will be held at the Seven Clans statue, located in the Sculpture Garden in front of Seven Clans Hotel. During the festivities, Coushatta Tribal dancers and drummers will perform a short program, with cake-cutting to follow. The public is invited to attend.

This groundbreaking will officially mark the beginning of construction on the resort’s newest series of upgrades and expansions, which begins with building a new eight-story 204-room luxury hotel with 100 suites. It will be connected to the casino, literally steps away from the casino floor. This expansion will increase capacity at Coushatta Casino Resort to over 1,000 rooms and will create additional employment opportunities for the region.

Tribal Chairman Jonathan Cernek stated, “As construction commences, we are excited about all the new venues and upgrades that we will be able to offer our guests, starting with this new hotel. Our goal is to offer our players an elevated gaming experience, and that includes top-quality lodgings and high-end dining options. The Coushatta Tribe is leading the way in building an unsurpassed resort destination, both in the local market and in the entire region,” he concluded.

Coushatta Casino Resort is located in Kinder, Louisiana on US Highway 165 (I-10 exit 44), featuring nearly 2,000 slots and more than 55 table games including live poker, plus live Bingo, sportsbook and off-track betting.
