I am helping to plan a bachelor party in Shreveport and could use some advice. The only casino that I have spent any time at is the Hollywood. It was pretty decent but I was wondering if any of the other casinos (Horseshoe, Isle of Capri etc) are any better. Most of us will be playing blackjack the whole time would prefer low minimums. Any of them have under $5? Any advice about which ones to hit and which one is best to stay at? Thanks.
I am going to a wedding in Shreveport/Stonewall next month. Never been there before. I've only been to Baton Rouge and Nawlins.
never been there but I guess this is an ok thread to post this Scheduled to open in Spring 2005, L'Auberge is being built on 227 acres of land off the I-210 loop in Lake Charles, Louisiana. L'Auberge du Lac Hotel & Casino. French for "The Inn on the Lake," the name was chosen to reflect Louisiana's unique heritage and the property's beautiful setting. L'Auberge will provide a unique addition to the Louisiana gaming market. Inspired by the architecture of both Southwest Louisiana and the Texas Hill country, L’auberge will be a luxurious 26 story casino resort will feature a large, single-level casino,746 rooms and suites, 60 table games and over 1,600 slot machines, several high quality restaurants, extensive meeting and entertainment space, a lavish pool area, a luxurious spa, and a championship golf course designed by world-renowned golf architect Tom Fazio. "L'Auberge will be Southwest Louisiana's first and only gaming resort where you'll experience unparalleled services and amenities in an exciting Las Vegas-like atmosphere," said Alain Uboldi, general manager of the property and Pinnacle's regional vice-president. "It will be very different from what visitors to Southwest Louisiana have experienced in the past."
Hollywood's the nicest one I've been to there. When you're there, you must eat at Superior Mexican food. A couple of margaritas and a plate of fajita quesadillas will do you right.
The best one there, IMO, is the Horseshoe. The minimums were $10, but it was a busy night. If your there early in the week, you might catch a $5 table. I think roulette was the only $5 table the 2 nights I was there which was a Wednesday and Thursday. There was a big convention going on though.
My favorite was Hollywood as well. We went about two years ago and stayed in Bossier City (Le Bossier). Horshoe was my 2nd favorite, but by far Hollywood was the best, IMO.
Thanks for the tip on Superior. I have been the the one here in Baton Rouge but had no idea there was one in Shreveport. I really love their Mesquite Fijita meat and like you said they make some tasty margaritas.
