Following Pinnacle Entertainment's acquisition of a Lake Charles casino from Harrah's Entertainment, which was damaged in 2005, it announced plans on June 20, 2006 to invest $350 million to construct Sugarcane Bay with an anticipated opening date in 2009. Harrah's received the site of the former Casino Magic Biloxi Casino & Hotel in exchange for the Lake Charles property and has announced plans to build the Margaritaville Casino and Resort on this and an adjoining property that it owned.
