Margaritaville Resort Casino, Gaming resort in Bossier City, Louisiana, US.

Margaritaville Resort Casino is a gaming resort located along the Red River featuring modern gaming facilities with multiple restaurants and entertainment spaces across several floors. The property includes hotel accommodations with river views and various amenities concentrated in one location.

Plans for the casino were revealed in June 2011, when Isle of Capri Casinos agreed to sell one of its Lake Charles riverboats and its casino license to developers Paul Alanis and William Trotter, who moved the license to Bossier City for a $170-million resort. Bossier Parish voters approved it in November 2011, the $15-million boat purchase closed in February 2012, and the $205-million project opened on June 15, 2013. Vici Properties bought the land and buildings in 2019 for $261 million, with Penn Entertainment acquiring the operating business for $115 million.

The name is licensed from Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville, and the tower's roof spells it in white capital letters above a palm-frond mural. A 2016 sale to the Poarch Band of Creek Indians, who planned to rebrand it Wind Creek, was canceled in a dispute with Margaritaville Holdings over name payments.

The casino sits on a barge floating in a pool of Red River water, a layout required by Louisiana's riverboat casino law. The 18-story hotel tower and the low base building with its covered entry are separate volumes, so allow time to move between the gaming floor and the 395 rooms.

The casino is built as a barge floating in a pool filled with about 2 feet (0.6 m) of water pumped from the Red River, a requirement of Louisiana's riverboat casino law. The 18-story hotel tower carries the name MARGARITAVILLE in white capital letters across its flat roof, above a large mural of green palm fronds on the front facade.
