This project included almost one million square feet on four levels. The lower basement level is used for valet parking while the upper basement level includes administrative offices. The main floor contains 100,000 square feet of gaming space, rivaling any casino in Las Vegas. The gaming floor is divided into five main areas or "Courts". The Mardi Gras Court, which includes facades modeled on the nearby French Quarter and 3 full-size Mardi Gras floats. The Smuggler's Court which is reminiscent of the Jean LaFitte era of South Louisiana, complete with a shipwreck. This court also includes a retail area with local concessionaires. The Jazz Court includes a domed 40' ceiling with sky mural and fiber optic stars. The court is surrounded with bas relief panels depicting the various forms of Jazz music that New Orleans is noted for. The Court of the Mansion which includes a 250-seat buffet, a 10,000 square foot ballroom, a large poker room, and the club cappuccino coffee shop. And finally, the Court of Good Fortune, which is designed as the high limit gaming area, including back rooms for very high end private gaming.
