prev | next SHREVEPORT-BOSSIER, LA There’s a side of Louisiana you may not be familiar with. You have to experience it to fully understand. The northwest corner of the state, in and around Shreveport-Bossier, is a little different than the rest of Louisiana. We’re a mixture of spicy Cajun attitude and wide-open Texas spirit. In Shreveport-Bossier, you’ll find a getaway that’s full of variety and offers a taste for life. With five riverboat casinos and one horseracing track and casino, we offer our own brand of alluring bright lights and fast-paced gaming action. Let our exclusive boutiques fuel your shopping urge, or drown yourself in endless options at the Louisiana Boardwalk — the most popular and the largest outlet, lifestyle, dining and entertainment destination in Louisiana. Revel in our family-oriented Mardi Gras celebrations as you reach for your share of more than eight million beads and other throws. Grab a movie ticket at the dynamic Robinson Film Center in downtown Shreveport after you’ve had dinner on the balcony at the Abby Singer’s Bistro. Relive our rich history, with a tour of Municipal Auditorium, the place where Elvis Presley got his start on the Louisiana Hayride. Engage in the stars through interactive exhibits at Sci-Port: Louisiana’s Science Center. If you’re ready to head outdoors, view alligators in their natural habitat at Gators and Friends Alligator Park and Exotic Zoo or take a short drive from the city and let Cypress Black Bayou help you relax with swimming, fishing or a stroll through its nature center. After you’ve worked up an appetite, sink your teeth into savory Cajun and Creole traditions and full-flavored Southern cuisine at Herby K’s or Ernest’s Orleans or have a muffy at Fertitta’s Delicatessen. But that’s just a sample of the many ingredients that make our sisters cities a memorable getaway. So go ahead! Place your bets; dance to our beat; laugh the night away; and while you’re here visiting “Louisiana’s Other Side,” discover yours!
