The Queen Casino & Entertainment operates two iconic Baton Rouge venues: Belle of Baton Rouge and The Queen Baton Rouge, formerly Hollywood Casino Baton Rouge. The historic property recently unveiled a comprehensive brand transformation and the completion of an estimated $85 million project that included moving from the Mississippi River to a new landside facility, increasing the total footprint to more than 100,000 square feet and the addition of innovative gaming, dining and entertainment offerings. Belle of Baton Rouge, Louisiana’s first casino, will also undergo a comprehensive renovation and landside move that’s expected to be completed in 2024.

Each property provides exciting rewards and benefits to its players, which are not currently transferable among the locations.
