Viva Las Orleans! As Elvis said "If ya seen it once, you'll never be the same again!" nola.com Nagin pitches for casino district Mayor Ray Nagin has proposed creation of a downtown casino district, a massive increase in the amount of legalized gambling, that he says will "jump-start" New Orleans' ravaged economy. Calling it an "out of the box" idea at a time when bold thinking is needed, Nagin said the district would encompass Canal and Poydras streets between Claiborne Avenue and the river. Every hotel with 500 rooms or more would be permitted to offer casino gambling, Nagin said. Nagin rolled out the idea at a Friday afternoon press conference in New Orleans. Currently law limits land-based gambling in New Orleans to a single casino, now operated by Harrah's at the foot of Canal Street.
