Shreveport

Pros: Unique attractions, fascinating history, few tourists
Cons: Few amenities

Travelers with a true spirit of adventure can spend a few days getting to know one of the most unique areas in America. Western Louisiana is an under-appreciated region that is rarely seen by tourists. The lifeline of the cities and small towns along the...

Pros: The city offers so much for everyone of all ages, its worth visiting.
Cons: Dont spend all your time & money at the casinos!

I remember when Shreveport Louisiana was nothing but a small town with a race track. Boy has it grown. My fiance and I made plans to meet a fellow Epinionater DaniellelBeeson and her husband for the weekend. As I thought I knew the city so well it made ...

Pros: Clean, Good Payouts
Cons: Over Crowded on weekends

I live about thirty miles from the city of Shreveport, LA. One of the biggest draws to this city is gambling. I would like to tell you about each of the casinos here and give you my opinion of them. I will rate them for you on a scale of 1 to 5, with...

Pros: Beautiful Inside, Friendly Staff, Fun Casino
Cons: Hotel is Always Booked

The Horsehoe Hotel and Casino in Shreveport/Bossier City, LA is definitely at the top its class, when it comes to gaming in Shreveport/Bossier City.

Pros: Great Food, Fun Casino

Cons: lots of stairs to climb, can be very crowded on weekends

Review Topic:  Entertainment

I live in Texas, but am only a 30 minute drive from the area of Shreveport/Bossier. If you enjoy gaming it is a great place to be. They have many great Casinos on Water(or boats as we call them)....

Pros: Location
Cons: Cleanliness, Management Attentiveness, Price

We have made a habit at staying at boutique/independent hotels for a number of years finding that the personalized services, unique rooms and the warmth and comfort that management shows for the lodgers is often worth the premium price paid to stay at ...

Pros: It's a small town that thinks it's a big city. Or is it the other way around?
Cons: Winter sometimes lasts up to four or five weeks here. Brrrr!

There's no gambling in Shreveport! Period! There's no gambling anywhere in Louisiana for that matter. It was outlawed years ago along with prostitution. It is illegal and expressly prohibited by the state constitution. Happily for our economy though,...

Pros: See opinion
Cons: See opinion

I lived the first 17 years of my life here, so I feel qualified to tell exactly what kind of a place Shreveport is. First of all, let me say that I am so glad that one of the three reviewers of this city talked about something besides gambling....

Pros: Diversity, Gambling, Food, Festivals
Cons: small, not much to do if you don't plan well.

Shreveport
I have lived in Shreveport my whole life. It has grown in the last few years tremendously, becoming a crossroads for many travelers and the residence of many more people. With the advent of the main visitor attraction: the...

Pros: Great Staff, Large Suite, Low Price
Cons: None, Really. Staff slow sometimes

Read the other reviews of Shreveport and decide if you want to spend some time there. If you say “yes”, you must sleep somewhere and the only place to stay in Shreveport is the Remington Suite Hotel. I have stayed there at least four times and I live...

Pros: great gambling, good food and drinks, fun atmosphere
Cons: not a very good selection in the gift shop

I traveled to Bossier, LA, on a bus tour to the Isle of Capri Casino in May of 2000. I had the most fun ever, even though the bus tour only allowed us to stay for about 8 hours.
I won over 400.00 on the wheel of fortune slot machine, and several...

Pros: multi faceted, southern hospitality, good simple folk
Cons: Cons and Shreveport Don't Mix

I lived in Shreveport for years 6-16, and it is certainly one of the most interesting places in the United States. But not because of normal reasons. It is because there are so many facets to visiting the Port City. There is something in Shreveport for...

Pros: Southern Charm/hospitality/comforts of home
Cons: not enough time there!

This bed & breakfast was a complete surprise in the middle of Northern Louisiana! The Slattery House is a Victorian home originally built in 1903.
Why stay in a casino hotel when in Shreveport for business or pleasure?

These folks...

Pros: The Casinos HOOK YOU UP!!!
Cons: The hotel walls are too thin, people complain when you're gettin jiggy!

A ladyfriend of mine and I decided to take a road trip to the great town of Shreveport for a fun filled day of gambling and "gettin' jiggy with it." We took this trip at the beginning of August, right before school started back. We arrive and...

Pros: Great Music, Food, Drinks, Laughs, Shows, and Gambling.
Cons: Gangs, Crackheads, Very High Crime Rate

Shreveport is located in the North West corner of Louisiana where interstates 49 and 20 meet. I spent 5 years living in Shreveport and I got to know it fairly well. The only thing that attracts tourist on a large scale is the legality of gambling on the ...

Pros: Although they tried, I didn't die in Shreveport
Cons: The people who hold onto that old confederate rebel culture

If you’ve never been to Shreveport, it is important to know what you’re getting yourself into. If you consider yourself an informed traveler, you obviously know where to stay, how to get there and what to do. If you read all the other Epinions...

Pros: casinos, not a big tourist trap
Cons: crime, a bit boring after a while

Shreverport, Louisiana has several exciting things to do, but it is not what I would call a luxury vacation spot. There is plenty of gambling and this is the home of the Indepedence Bowl, but most of the great fun here in Shreveport is seasonal. My...

Pros: Diverse things to do.
Cons: Requires effort to find them.

Fifteen things to do in Shreveport
1. Freshwater fishing. At least 8 major lakes and a river within 50 miles.
2. Live theater: Strand Theater, Margery Lyons Theater, two community theaters, Shreveport Opera, Shreveport Symphony.
3. Live...

Pros: gambling, not far from DFW area
Cons: alot of smoke in casinos, humid weather

I recently married and we drove to Shreveport for our honeymoon for one night. We checked into the La Quinta and changed clothes to go out for a night on the town. To try to test our luck.
We drove to Harrahs, only 5 miles from the hotel and the...

Pros: Lots to do and see
Cons: Can't take the kids gambling

So you want to try the gambling experience, but don't want to go to Vegas? Go to Shreveport! You have Harrah's, The Horseshoe and The Isle of Capri to name a few. I think The Horseshoe is the best, in my humble opinion. I always leave there with more...

Pros: Great design, not crowded
Cons: Needs more flights

I really liked the airport. Very modern design, with light and airy European look, fast baggage claim, friendly employees and no crowding.

Downside: needs more flights!
