Pinnacle Entertainment Names Louisiana Casino

LAS VEGAS –- (PRESS RELEASE) -- On June 15, Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE: PNK) officially announced the name of its Lake Charles project: L'Auberge du Lac Hotel & Casino. French for "The Inn on the Lake," the name was chosen to reflect Louisiana's unique heritage and the property's beautiful setting.

L'Auberge will provide a unique addition to the Louisiana gaming market. Inspired by the architecture of both Southwest Louisiana and the Texas Hill country, the resort will feature a large, single-level casino, over 700 guestrooms and suites, several high quality restaurants, extensive meeting and entertainment space, a lavish pool area, a luxurious spa, and a championship golf course designed by world-renowned golf architect Tom Fazio.

"L'Auberge will be Southwest Louisiana's first and only gaming resort where you'll experience unparalleled services and amenities in an exciting Las Vegas-like atmosphere," said Alain Uboldi, general manager of the property and Pinnacle's regional vice-president. "It will be very different from what visitors to Southwest Louisiana have experienced in the past."

Scheduled to open in Spring 2005, L'Auberge is being built on 227 acres of land off the I-210 loop in Lake Charles, Louisiana. A live webcam of the work in progress can be accessed at the Company's corporate website at www.pnkinc.com.
