Description:
Manning Architects, in conjunction with Marnell Corrao Architects of Las Vegas, provided full architectural design services for the redevelopment of Louisiana Downs. Opened in May 2004, the new Harrah’s Louisiana Downs Racetrack and Casino is an integral component of the Shreveport/Bossier City area’s rapidly expanding tourism and gaming industries.
Phase One of the project encompassed the renovation of the current facility, the construction of a temporary casino in the existing building, and the renovation of the grandstand area as well as support and administration areas. Phase Two of the project included the construction of a new 158,000 square foot casino which houses 15,000 square feet of casino gaming, sundry/casino support spaces, a 400-seat buffet, a 140-seat gourmet steakhouse, a 25-seat oyster bar, full service on-site kitchens, warehouse facilities, employee lounge areas, and 18,000 square feet of administrative offices.
