RD Jones & Associates led the interior design scope for a comprehensive rebranding and partial new construction project that transformed the former Diamond Jacks Casino in Bossier City into Live Casino & Hotel Louisiana, now recognized as the state’s largest land-based gaming and luxury hospitality destination. In partnership with The Cordish Companies, the design team executed an ambitious brief focused on repositioning the property as a premier regional hub for gaming, dining, entertainment, and hospitality.

The redevelopment required a high-end environment that carefully balanced refined luxury aesthetics with the operational demands of a high-traffic destination. Through bold architectural gestures and dynamic lighting strategies, the arrival experience was redefined to create immediate visual impact upon entry through the hotel porte-cochère and lobby sequence. RD Jones & Associates developed an interior language that integrates regional identity through locally inspired textures, materials, and colour palettes, ensuring a strong sense of place throughout the property. Curated Louisiana artwork and culturally relevant pieces were incorporated across public areas, reinforcing an authentic narrative rooted in the heritage of Bossier City and the wider region.

The scope delivered by RD Jones & Associates encompassed 549 luxury guest rooms, including 28 high-end suites, along with ten levels of corridors, elevator lobbies, a grand hotel lobby featuring reception, concierge, and retail elements, as well as curated food and beverage venues including a lobby bar lounge and a three-meal restaurant. The Event Center complex further expanded the offering with a grand ballroom, five meeting rooms, a boardroom, and extensive pre-function spaces designed for large-scale gatherings and conventions.

Sustainability and compliance were integral to the design strategy, incorporating energy-efficient lighting, low-flow plumbing systems, environmentally preferred materials, and full ADA compliance. The result is a destination that not only elevates regional hospitality standards but also strengthens local tourism, supports cultural engagement, and generates significant economic impact, including projected gaming tax contributions and long-term employment opportunities for the region.
