No state is known as that. New Orleans is known as the Big Easy because of a dance hall that was named the Big Easy in the early 1900s.

The city of New Orleans, LA:
The Big Easy was possibly a reference by musicians in the early 1900s to the relative ease of finding work there. According to an August 1987 article in The Times-Picayune, it also alludes to the fewer restrictions on alcohol. The term was used by local columnist Betty Gillaud in the 1970s to contrast life in the city to that of New York City.[9] The name also refers to New Orleans' status as a major city, at one time "one of the cheapest places in America to live" and came into popular usage throughout the United States in the wake of the 1987 film The Big Easy, which was set in New Orleans [3].

It's not a state. It's a city (New Orleans).
I'm not actually sure why.
