We heard this piece of news in Lake Charles this week. So I checked releases.

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- MGM Resorts International (NYSE: MGM) and Creative Casinos, LLC today announced a strategic relationship to develop and manage the proposed Mojito Pointe casino resort in Lake Charles, Louisiana.

Mojito Pointe is a luxury casino resort to be located on a 242-acre site in Lake Charles, Louisiana.... MGM will manage the new resort under an MGM brand to be announced and the resort will be fully integrated into MGM's M life loyalty program. Creative Casinos will develop and own the resort, which is expected to contain a casino with approximately 1,500 slot machines and 50 table games and two hotels with a total of 400 hotel rooms, including 30 VIP suites. Construction on the resort is expected to begin before year-end in anticipation of an opening in mid-2013.

And to think that I helped make this all possible including losses at MGM Detroit yesterday. I am confident the casino will be beautiful and the food on the gourmet side!

Larry, how far is Lake Charles from Biloxi? I like the Beau Rivage, another MGM property.

Marie,
We really appreciate your assistance.   Will be nice to have a MGM property this close to Houston. Although we do enjoy the free flights (45 minutes) to MGM's Beau Rivage in Biloxi vs the 2 hour drive to Lake Charles.

heres a link to the proposed Mojito Pointe.

Larry, how far is Lake Charles from Biloxi? I like the Beau Rivage, another MGM property.

Its about 4 1/2 hours due west on I-10. But the pay returns for $ at L'Auberge are all 99% which is incredible.

We are excited about having a MGM property this close to Texas. Gives MGM a portion of the $40 million/month Lake Charles market.   Besides when Texas replaces it governor and gets gambling the'll have a built in audience.

see above for Mojito Pointe.

I like this news, thanks Larry!

We are really excited since LC is our regular stomping grounds. It should help many of us since Beau Rivage is the next closest MGM property.

I hope they have an airport and a golf course like The Beau. Would be nice to visit a new property.
