Southwest Louisiana is your destination for upscale meetings and events. Our casino resorts, L’Auberge Lake Charles and Golden Nugget, both offer over 26,000+ square feet of flexible meeting space. Delta Downs Racetrack Casino & Hotel also offers a large event center if you are looking for something a little unconventional. The highly anticipated renovation of Isle of Capri into the Horseshoe Casino Lake Charles is slated to open Fall of 2022 with redesigned meeting space.  

If you are looking for an off-site event venue either as part of your larger meeting, or as a stand alone event such as a wedding or reunion, check out our unique options in downtown Lake Charles. We have plenty of historic venues such as the Calcasieu Marine Bank, The Charleston Hotel, The Governor’s Mansion or the Cash & Carry Building. Also, nearby you can find the Brickhouse which is a local favorite for weddings, proms, and Mardi Gras Balls.  

Wanting something that is more traditional convention space? Be sure to check out the Lake Charles Civic Center which can hold up to 120+ 10x10 booths. On the west side of the river in Sulphur, the West Cal Arena & Event Center is an ideal location for small to mid-size meetings with a variety of available hotels nearby.  

Whether it’s a full-scale convention/conference, a business meeting/retreat, or a wedding/reunion,  let the Visit Lake Charles team assist you! We are your local experts and can help you find the perfect venue to fit your individual needs.
