Boomtown Casino & Hotel

A riverboat casino opened on the Harvey Canal in 1994 with a Wild West theme throughout the property and became the West Bank's primary casino and entertainment destination. Boomtown is one of two casinos in Jefferson Parish, sharing that distinction with the Treasure Chest. A hotel, multiple restaurants, and an entertainment venue all sit on site — you can stay overnight, eat, catch a band, and never cross the river. Free live entertainment runs on weekends. The casino sits on the Harvey Canal, a working commercial waterway where barges still move freight. It's the West Bank's answer to the question of where to go when you don't want to leave the neighborhood.
