Fertitta explained his company is following all CDC and state guidelines to maintain a safe environment while getting employees back to work.
Other Lake Charles destinations are also planning to open their doors on Monday.
The Isle of Capri and L'auberge Lake Charles plan to welcome guests back, according to statements from officials at each property.
One southwest Louisiana destination that doesn't appear to be opening any time soon is Delta Downs in Vinton.
The openings are allowed by Louisiana's COVID-19 reopening plans from Gov. John Bel Edwards. The state's order lets casinos open 50% of their games with a 25% occupancy rate.
