Pinnacle Entertainment
announced that L’Auberge du Lac, the Company’s $365 million casino resort
located in Lake Charles, Louisiana, officially opened to the public on May
26. Located on 227 acres of land, L’Auberge offers approximately 745
guestrooms, several restaurants, approximately 28,000 square feet of
meeting space, a championship golf course designed by Tom Fazio, an
expansive pool area, retail shops and a full-service spa. Unlike most
other riverboat casinos, all of the public areas at L’Auberge (except the
parking garage), and in particular the casino, are situated entirely on
one level. The casino is surrounded on three sides by the hotel facility
and other guest amenities, providing convenient access to approximately
1,600 slot machines and 60 table games.

“Thousands of people worked hard to design, build, and prepare L’Auberge
for opening,” said Daniel R. Lee, Chairman and CEO of Pinnacle
Entertainment. “We have built a casino resort unlike any other, and we are
excited to share it with the world.”
