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. These plans were canceled or rejected. Its unknown what will happen to the building and lot.
