Casino Resorts

Lazy rivers, spectacular pools, spas, delectable dining, and a refreshing drink with a twist of lime – L’Auberge Casino Resort, Golden Nugget Lake Charles and Delta Downs Racetrack Casino Hotel – are destinations unto themselves. During the summer months, the water is just fine for a dip in the pool at one of Lake Charles’ premier gaming resorts. As the warm, fragrant winds shift to crisp fall breezes, heated pools, hot tubs or firepits on the beach add a hint of magic to the cooler months as the thundering sound of thoroughbreds rock the track at Delta Downs.

Tucked away on the other side of its rolling golf greens, you'll find L'Auberge's grand entry with an elegant water fountain and valet parking ready to sweep you away into a relaxing stay. When you walk through the majestic entrance, to the right, the L Bar awaits with muted greens and blues mixed in with brass creating a calming sensation – the perfect place to enjoy a specialty cocktail, fine wine, craft beer or an old favorite.

Lazy River at L'Auberge Casino Resort

Other amenities include a heated pool, lazy river and lounging areas outside in the tropical oasis environment. You can swim up to the poolside bar at the lazy river and enjoy a frozen cocktail. Meanwhile, the serene adults-only pool offers luxurious cabanas and full-bar service. You can also sign up for a deep dive into luxury with a spa day at Spa du Lac! For dining, Ember Grille & Wine Bar is always on point with its upscale atmosphere and exquisite dishes, and you can choose from a variety of other restaurants as well from Food & Brews to Favorites Southern Kitchen, Asia or Modern Pantry.

Nearby, you can walk outside to the boardwalk area and stroll along the lake to Golden Nugget Lake Charles, filled to the brim with more gaming excitement, restaurants, shopping and entertainment. The differences between L’Auberge and Golden Nugget adds to the appeal of these two premier properties located side-byside. The Golden Nugget’s bright reds and golds contrast with the more Texas Hill Country experience at L’Auberge. The glitz of Las Vegas stands out with flowy bubble chandeliers reminiscent of champagne dancing on the ceiling.
