Very proud to play our annual golf tournament at "The Nugget". This past weekend was our 19th annual trip and John and his team didn't disappoint. The course is regularly in excellent shape and the staff is great! See you guys next year at our 20th! If not before!

Yesterday it rained about 2 inches. The Golden Nugget opened, cart path only, while other courses did not. The course crew did an amazing job cleaning up the course for play and it was in terrific shape. What a great track. Don’t miss the opportunity to play this course.

We played this course on 9/22/23. It was a challenging course but in great shape. Unlike Contraband !! We had a great experience, the staff were amazing! The bartender and the restaurant manager (I can't remember their nams) were very attentive, I had gotten heat stroke/dehydration. All the staff were friendly and helpful, especially Hogan!

I called the pro shop probably 20-30 times in the past 4-5 days to book a tee time for my bday this Saturday and no one ever picked up, finally I called 4 times today and someone picked up and they tell me they’re booked thru the week and weekend. I canceled my hotel reservation and all

The best golf course in Lake Charles

The golf course was awesome! It has a great layout and very pretty design. The holes are challenging. The greens were some of the best greens I’ve played on. They are fast and the lines are true. The views of the bypass loop over the river was very pretty also. The only drawback is for the price the carts didn’t have GPS in them. The staff was friendly to us and accommodating

I haven't played the course yet but I have been trying to set a tee time for 2 weeks. NO ONE WILL ANSWER THE PHONE OR RETURN CALLS! Update: Finally set a tee time. The course was great. Fun to play. The people were the best part, extremely kind very helpful. Only one negative to say is the carts could use some replacing or upgrades or something. Otherwise, I highly recommend.

The room was nice enough. Bed was comfortable. A/C wasn't very cool (I don't think the thermostat was correct). The coffee in the room sucked-tasted very stale and there was only powdered creamer that tasted like poop. In a state that has Community coffee, I expected better. We got there on Friday. Went to Dragos and was NOT told about the seafood buffet until after we had ordered. I was pissed since I called before hand and made sure Lauberge had a seafood buffet. Food was not worth the price we paid. Then, the waitress gave us the same bill, the higher of our 2 meals. When I brought it to her attention, she actually argued with me. Went down the next morning for their breakfast and was sorely disappointed (coffee was $3/cup) and the only decent food item was bread pudding.... The only place to get a cup of decent coffee was Modern Pantry. I've never stayed at an establishment where you couldn't get a decent cuppa Joe. Will go to Golden Nugget or somewhere else next time.

Never have a bad experience here other than just losing money. 🤪 Beds are comfy, rooms are clean, pool is amazing, and staff is so friendly! Only downside for us was we wanted to book massages and spa stuff for our anniversary but it was already booked up by the time we went to book the day before 😭 I see a lot of complaints in other people’s reviews about not getting non smoking rooms - my suggestion to the owners of this hotel/casino is to just get rid of the smoking rooms like golden nugget did to offer guests a better experience. I think most of us can agree smoking is no longer as popular as it once was. Keep it in the casino but not the rooms. Also I see people complaining about the signature scent but I love it so please don’t get rid of it!

I stopped in to the L’Auberge Casino while passing through Lake Charles recently. The facility was very clean and well attended. The staff were very congenial and chatty in a nice welcoming way. I only experienced the casino floor in any detail, but the property in general is really nice, including outdoor areas next to the water. They have free soft drinks and coffee while gambling, as well as a wide assortment of table games and slot machines. They still call them slots, but they are really like elaborate video games with a bunch of bells and whistles and its difficult to know what exactly is happening, but every so often you do win some credits, kind of surreal actually. They also have robotic craps and roulette, which combines table games with a video poler style terminal ad. A place to set your free coffee and cigarettes! Yes, they do still let folks smoke their menthols on the casino floor! I recommend giving this site a try if you are passing Lake Charles - great spot for a travel break. Remember to gamble responsibly and never wager more than you can afford!

We’ve been to L’auberge for years. We’ve always enjoyed it but not this time. We asked for a room closest to the elevator by the casino. It was on the 8th floor- pretty far down from the elevator. The mattress was not comfortable at all. There was a nice gentleman that brought our white robes to use. A chair was broken, my husband called and they never came to fix it. The refrigerator didn’t get the bottled water cold. The alarm on the clock came on and woke us around 6:00 am. I guess if you pay more on the weekends you get the better rooms. When Pinnacle owned it, it was better.

I booked L' Abuerge Casino Resort because of all the glowing reviews, but from the moment we arrived, its been nothing but disappointment. Before checking in, I went online to confirm restaurant hours, which clearly showed they’d be open later—but when we got here, everything was already closed one to two hours earlier than advertised. At check-in, things got even worse. I prepaid for my room through Trivago and had receipts to prove it, yet the front desk still tried to charge me an additional $220, instead of just the $50 incidental hold and $24 resort fee. They kept insisting I hadn’t paid, even though I literally showed them proof. On top of that, I paid for a king-size bed, and they repeatedly told me there weren’t any available until I pushed back and demanded what I booked—after over 12 hours of driving, no less. The staff were generally standoffish and unhelpful, our casino credits didn’t even work, and all of their restaurants and bars close ridiculously early. I’m sorry, but if I’m staying at a casino, I expect to be able to eat or order a nice cocktail at 10 p.m.—not be told everything shuts down at 9. Even their pool hours aren’t accurate; the website says it opens at 8 a.m., but when we called this morning, they said it doesn’t open until 10. After this experience, I truly regret not staying at the Golden Nugget next door. Their restaurants, bars, and amenities are open until at least midnight—the way a real resort should be. Everything advertised on La Berge’s website felt misleading, and it’s frustrating that no one seemed interested in making things right for guests. The only redeeming part of our entire experience was a wonderful gentleman named Willie, who checks IDs in the casino. He was incredibly friendly and shared an awesome chat with us about nu-wave and post-punk music. He was the one bright spot in what was otherwise an absolute disaster of a stay. Save yourself the headache and stay at the Golden Nugget. You’ll actually get what you pay for.

Only negative things I have to say is that the check in took forever, but there were alot of people trying to check in at the same time and only two people working the check-in counter. Some areas of the room you could tell haven't been dusted or wiped down like the phone and areas of the night stand. Other than that, the rooms were spacious and nice. Bathrooms and shower were nice as well. Nice golf course out front. Plenty of places to eat without leaving the hotel. Would definitely visit again.

Room was pretty nice but the beds were horrible! Too soft and no support! The room had no information card, no hotel information. The registration staff was very tepid even when we mentioned that we had been coming here since the week first opened and that it we were here to celabrate our 50th annivesary. However the food at BetEspn and Johnny Sanches was great. Sadly this just isn't the place it used to be

I have stayed at this hotel a few times but this weekend was the best. Atmosphere has changed a lot. It was fun!! Oktoberfest was the best. Thank you!! I only gave a 4 on location because we need one near Houston!! I had to drive 2.5 hours but well worth it.

Today I visited this establishment with my Mom. The staff were so sweet and pleasant from start to finish. My Mom lost her phone and did not even realize it. One male security staff asked me had I lost my phone and I said no. Then one female security person asked me as well and I said no. Then I asked my Mom did she have her phone and we quickly realized her phone was missing. I really appreciate their proactivity in finding who the lost phone belonged to. I went to four points and the male bartender provided excellent customer service as well. Overall great experience, I truly felt they cared. Please recognize the team that was there today 11/6/25 between 10:30a-12:30p. They were nothing but the best!

Came here for a quick 2 day visit. Had a really good time gambling here. Play was good as it gets. Room with a lake view was awesome. Could have done a better job cleaning, and some staff was not real friendly. Will definitely return.

We ‘pop’ in here usually on our way back to Houston from L’Auberge, and things were much better a few months ago. We stayed overnight last night. Casino service was horrible! Rooms were nice, but bathroom had hair on the floor and stuck to wall of shower, grout needs to be scrubbed. When on stays in an upper class hotel, you expect it to be clean. Food was good and waitress was on to of things. My complaint is this. Husband was at craps table and when a waitress finally came around, he asked for Evian water. She snarled at him asked rudely barked,”what color card do you have?”. He asked why she needed to know, her reply was, we reserve Evian for our upper tiered guest. He said he would purchase it, she said, “I just told you, we reserve them for upper tiered guest”. Then she walked off. I will say this, every one we came in contact with since we arrived (waited 15 minutes for valet came out, but not until I got out and managed to get in my wheelchair and went in to find them) was rude, condescending, and showed no interest in customer care or satisfaction. You would think that they would realize that happy satisfied customers will spend and tip more money. We did notice that some people received much better attention than others at the table and cash cage. As a note, if you are ‘the others’ just beware, your service will be different from others. We arrived from Bossier City, Horseshoe, and while staff was good, casino dealers were exactly the same! We won’t be back to either establishment, which is what they wanted. Good help is hard to find, but they need to keep looking.

Ok the beds here are so comfortable. You just melt it is that comfortable. Clean, beautiful rooms. Very nice hotel to stay, you will not be disappointed. Stay during the week with less crowds, pool is gorgeous, gym is nice and clean. Have stayed here many times while working in the area and it is always as pleasant as the time before.

Every next time I visit this place, I like it a little more. Since I am a Caesars rewards member, check in and out are easy. The property is not overwhelmingly big and the rooms are really nice. I really like the lake view and the area is actually quite and peaceful despite its industrial surroundings. I'll be a repeat visitor for sure!

Nice clean casino. Shoot out to Eric at the bar and the lady who brought us all our adult beverages. We were in a group so it was appreciated On a bad note do not go to Slice very poorly organized and pizza slices were discusting and cold. I am not sure how they get away with serving cold food off a display. I am sure heslth inspecter would shut them down.

A very nice and well maintained park. RV sites are well equipped but no trees or privacy whatsoever in this area. A beautiful little lake with cypress trees and access to the Houston River. A boat launch and kayak rentals are available at the river. Nice cabin rentals. There are a couple nice hiking trails here.

Nice place with lots of wildlife. The trails around the camp are really nice, and the park is well-kept overall. We camped in an RV spot. The spots themselves are just concrete pads with no shade but they’re plenty level. The bathhouse was clean and reasonably well kept up. Do watch out for the swarm of mosquitos that comes out at dusk. We had to retreat into our van and spent the next 20 minutes swatting them away. My only negative with this place came when we packed up and left. A lady in a golf cart who’d clearly let her minuscule amount of power go to her head blocked our lane as we were about to exit to inform us the speed limit was 5 (FIVE) miles per hour. My speedometer doesn’t even go that low, but we were probably going 10mph. Nice place other than that. Be sure to walk the orange trail and see lots of wildlife.

At the time of this post , the park has recently refreshed the amenities and trails. The RV area is paved with a clean new restroom and shower area that is air conditioned. There are two blink Level 2 EV chargers that currently cost $0.39/KW. The roads in the park have been repaved, and the cabins are brand new. They have done a fantastic job of clearing and improving the trails with signage. There is a new boardwalk along the river near the kids playground area with breathtaking views. I am really impressed and hope the park continues this level of maintenance!

I had not visited this park since the hurricane in 2020. This park has always been so beautiful! Even though it lost alot of its trees it is still such a peaceful and lovely retreat. Very friendly staff. Clean restrooms. Great trails for all ages. Boardwalks, walking paths, bike paths, kids trail, playgrounds, disk golf, boating, kayaking, picnic areas...something for everyone! 💚💚💚

This place is so worth your time! Absolutely gorgeous. Pet friendly, fishing, boating, biking and so much more. The scenery is breathtaking. A must go to with the family or just a stroll by yourself to unwind.

Great park with lots of recreational options. Trails for walking, running, biking, birding.. Full disc golf course. Ponds, lagoons, river (including nice boardwalk) for fishing. New cabins. RV camping area. Beautiful park making a great comeback after devastating storms a few years ago.

This was a very nice park. You could rent kayaks and go out on the river. It had some hiking trails, and even had a kids trail with cute animals and decorations set up along the trail. (It was probably a 16th mike loop) It had a disc golf course on it as well.

Prien Lake Park is a serene and well-maintained spot, perfect for family outings or a peaceful retreat. The scenic views of the lake are stunning making it a great place for photography or just relaxing by the water. The park features clean walking trails, picnic areas with shelters, and playgrounds that are perfect for kids. It’s also equipped with boat ramps for those wanting to spend time on the water. The atmosphere is calm, and the park is generally not too crowded, allowing visitors to fully enjoy the natural surroundings. Overall, it’s a wonderful destination for both recreation and relaxation.

Very clean quiet park. Was there for a family reunion. The facility that was rented was very nice. Outside always clean and beautiful.

It's a very beautiful place with lots of paths to walk or jog. I went there to fish and found a nice area and caught a speckled trout from the shore using a large soft jig. Later I caught a croaker and then a flounder. I did this on 10/16/2025. My first time fishing out here.

This park is so well maintained! The playground is completely fenced in and it has high latches so little children just can’t wonder off. The exercise facility is very nice and I love how they have workout equipment spaced out the walking trail.

Great clean park normally there is present of police during lunch nice boat ramp ...great picnic areas and splash park for the kiddos

Great place to walk and exercise. Boat, canoe and kayak launches. Splash pad and park for the kiddos.

This park is great for whatever you decide you want to do . if you got a boat or a kayak and you want to do that no problem they have a launch. If you want to take your kids to a splash pad or the playground, no problem. If you are looking to either get a walk or run completed , the surrounding area is .73 miles so you’ll have to go around four times if you’re trying to do a 5k, this park really seems to have it all. The park hours are from 5 AM to 11 PM and you can see the Golden Nugget Casino in the distance.

This park was an amazing find! Lots of parking nearby, and the place was huge! I wish I was a kid again to better enjoy the twists and turns. A lot of neat little areas to explore, plus areas for bigger or smaller kids too.

This was a really nice park! We enjoyed the fountains and learning about the history. The views were beautiful, and it was pleasant to walk along the water. It was a relaxing and enjoyable visit. We would recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful spot to stroll and take in the scenery.

Beautiful place for the kids to play or an evening stroll

Such a beautiful & safe park to bring the littles. I absolutely love the music that of played from Disney movies as well. Definitely a playground I would have enjoyed as a kid. They have onsite restrooms.

This park has an amazing playground. It’s expansive and compatible with kids of all ages. It’s naturally setup with a nautical theme with a large pirate ship sitting as a center piece. There are separate areas for the big kids and little kids. There are plenty of slides and swings and the typical stuff, but there are also some interesting home grown features that I’ve not seen anywhere else. It’s also super secure with two fences that ensure the kids aren’t going to escape. The bathrooms are surprisingly clean and there is a splash pad for the summer months. This is a jewel.

You really cant go wrong with this park. Its massive with an absolute abundance of things for kids of all ages to participate in. There are different sections that are age based and it includes a splash pad. What would be nice is if yhe gated park had gates to get in. The park is so large, it can be hard to keep tabs on kids. Having door gates would help alleviate the stress of misplacing your child for 8 seconds when they inevitably run out of sight.
