The Red River is the heart of Shreveport, in northwest Louisiana, a cultural and gaming hub on the Louisiana-Texas border. Riverboat casinos blend old-world glamour with modern thrills for visitors seeking excitement.
For a change of pace, cross the neon-lit Texas Street Bridge to Louisiana Downs in Bossier City for horse racing, or stroll along the Louisiana Boardwalk with its shops, riverfront cafes, and restaurants. Shreveport also offers botanical gardens, fine dining, shopping, and outdoor activities like golf, fishing, and river cruises, with more than ten golf courses to choose from.
