Cypress Bayou celebrates milestone

The Chitimacha Tribe of Louisiana recently celebrated the 25th anniversary of its Cypress Bayou Casino Hotel in Charenton.

Tribal members, casino officials, local government agencies and regulatory bodies convened in the casino’s flagship restaurant, Mr. Lester’s Steakhouse, to celebrate the historic milestone, Cypress Bayou said in a news release.

The St. Mary Parish property began as Chitimacha Bayouland Bingo and transformed into an entertainment complex, the company said. There have been many expansions and renovations, which provided projects for local contractors.

The property has had an estimated economic impact of nearly $1 billion on the region, which includes $670 million in salaries and benefits, $202 million paid to Louisiana vendors and millions of dollars donated to local charities, the company said.
