friends in town so made a trip last night. over done it lol...From the GM, they are still on track to have the hotel open a bit early, end of October for Taylor Swifts 3 sold out shows at the Superdome but he also said that all of the rooms would not be available.
updates: whatever they are doing behind little gem saloon https://i.imgur.com/voPEty3h.jpg Poydras is now 2 lanes paved each way, its getting better. they removed the valet tent for Caesars so they can start scraping Monday, I think end of the month the temp Valet will be moving over to the canal street hotel entrance side, they paved the turning lanes but all the intersections and turn spots are unpaved at the moment https://i.imgur.com/PYSKRvXh.jpg looking towards the Convention center/Poydras entrance, lots of Table games and slots removed, see how they set it up next https://i.imgur.com/zTyXVCTh.jpg new gold statues to compliment the dragon for asian gaming https://i.imgur.com/AlPeWn2h.jpg https://i.imgur.com/oJk5UNCh.jpg old Buffet spot by the foodhall, right outside the new Asian gaming also getting a different layout soon https://i.imgur.com/a599Tgfh.jpg they snuck Caesar in recently, this is by the original Valet entrance https://i.imgur.com/EvKRuGQh.jpg and on to Octavia, I love it, I understand its new and will have to work out some issues like any new place, my only 2 complaints is that they are using the same junk video poker machines as the sportsbook, apparently parts are hard to get for this particular brand machine and they break often, the techs hate them and they still brought them in. there are several machines at the sportsbook that have been broken for a good 9 months...the other issue is one of the Bartenders is pretty slow, we knew this from another bar but after 25 minutes of playing bartop, we had to remind him that we still needed a drink, and while I didnt walk the whole bar top area, on our side, one machine was already broken lol https://i.imgur.com/nehvTHxh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/A1cyWcah.jpg https://i.imgur.com/2qhJtvUh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Kgvr6GJh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/m82I95bh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/iMzqlBCh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/8tcNfW3h.jpg https://i.imgur.com/NifYzvah.jpg https://i.imgur.com/lYAwGwqh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/V78sd6Ih.jpg https://i.imgur.com/LP9OsYuh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/LXCLMbrh.jpg drink menu https://i.imgur.com/fCu8z3Gh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Yl3kdyoh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/6uMIqCLh.jpg |
Awesome shots Slimm. I missed out on Harrah’s but look forward to visiting Caesars one day. Just realized something though… between the Dome renovations, Caesar’s redevelopment, River District, Tulane’s expanding medical district, the Convention Center, Aquarium and so much more; is this the most investment downtown has seen at one time ? Very impressive when you stand back and really look at it.

I hope they put a stop to those obnoxious ATV and dirt bike riders that parade along Canal St.

Good to see this project getting full funded!!
September 18, 2024 Joseph I. Giarrusso City Council Funds $17 Million Needed for Full Automation of West Power Complex, Enhancing Infrastructure and Flood Prevention City Council Funds $17 Million Needed for Full Automation of West Power Complex, Enhancing Infrastructure and Flood Prevention NEW ORLEANS - The Sewerage and Water Board West Power complex needs $34 million to fully automate the substation when it becomes operational in June 2025. The New Orleans City Council, in collaboration with the New Orleans legislative delegation, has worked to fund the City’s match of $17 million as the final portion of funds needed to fully automate the Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans’s West Power Complex. Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry’s office is also working on a $17 million match. Mayor Cantrell and her Administration have now agreed to the funding, realizing the importance of this project notwithstanding other City concerns. “This power complex is one of the most important infrastructure projects in our lifetime,” said District A Councilmember Joe Giarrusso, Budget Committee Chair . “The substation will come online in June 2025. This new funding will ensure the substation is not relying on people to manage the power and is instead completely automated. Delay is not an option. I want to thank my Council colleagues for their urgent attention, my legislative colleagues for their continued support, the Governor's office for the state match and to Mayor Cantrell for getting behind these efforts for all New Orleanians." “It is not realistic to sit around and wait for funding to magically appear, which is why this Council must act now,” said Council Vice-President JP Morrell. “I want to thank the Governor’s Office for working with City Council and the New Orleans Delegation on this project. This funding cannot wait, and we cannot waste time posturing to make a political point.” “I’m thrilled to see the New Orleans City Council, Governor Landry, and my colleagues in the Louisiana Legislature come together to secure the $17 million local match for the federal grant needed to complete this critical Sewerage and Water Board power plant project,” said Representative Stephanie Hilferty, District 94 . “This collaborative effort showcases what we can achieve when we work as a team for the betterment of our community. While this funding is a significant milestone in modernizing the Sewerage and Water Board’s operations, it’s important to recognize that our work is far from over. This power plant is just the first step in a larger journey to upgrade Sewerage and Water Board’s operations and infrastructure to ensure reliable services for all our residents. We must maintain this momentum and continue to invest in the systems that are vital to our city’s future.” “From day one, Governor Landry and I have been lock-stepped on making this happen,” said State Senator Jimmy Harris, District 4 . “I am pleased and relieved to know that the New Orleans City Council is also in step on behalf of the citizens of New Orleans. All of us, including the citizens of New Orleans, want and deserve the same thing. This is simply to have electricity for the pumping systems to ensure available power for pump operation that prevents flooding in our neighborhoods and on our streets.” The allocation from the City Council will be $14 million from General Obligation bonds from bonds the City recently sold. The remaining $3 million will come from Fair Share dollars appropriated to Sewerage and Water Board. In 2021, the power complex received $22 million in city funding. In 2022, Council funded $30 million for the substation itself. In 2023, state legislators negotiated for an additional $10 million in state capital outlay, plus $5 million in Fair Share dollars, totaling $55 million in state funds to date. And this year, the Council allocated an additional $20 million to this project when the phase one construction bids came in over budget. The funding ordinances will be filed at the September 19 City Council meeting and considered for final approval at the October 10 meeting. |
