Thanks to the big tourist boom in Shreveport
and its sister city Bossier, hotels in Shreveport are
in ample supply. You can find Shreveport hotels
broken down into three categories: casino resorts,
bed and breakfasts and the cheap hotels Shreveport offers
like the budget hotels of Best Western, Clarion and Fairfield
Inn.
The Shreveport hotel casino Sam’s Town is 23 story 514 room luxury resort hotel. Inside you can find the high end William B’s steakhouse restaurant as well as an all night buffet and a coffee lounge. The casino is on a stationary riverboat reached by walking through a pavilion in the hotel. The casino is 3 stories and filled with Vegas style gaming – slots, black jack, craps and roulette. There is even an outdoor pool and a full service luxury spa. At night, take a seat in the Bar Lounge where you can munch on appetizers and sip cocktails while watching live entertainment.
Another of luxury Shreveport Hotels is the El Dorado
Casino. This Shreveport hotel Casino is commonly
referred to as the most luxurious in town. It has
403 rooms, all suites. The casino is located on
a riverboat and hosts 1400 slot machines and 68 gaming
tables. You can also dine at one of the five restaurants
or enjoy the entertainment in the lounge bar, like karaoke,
or the Bourbon and Blues Jam band. There is a lovely
gift shop and a world class spa to pamper yourself in
after a night of gambling
and entertainment. For Las
Vegas cajun style, a Shreveport Hotel Casino is the
perfect place to go.
Across the Red River in nearby Bossier is the DiamondJacks
Casino & Resort, on the Red River. This Casino
hotel features 570 luxurious suites, outdoor pool, heated
sauna and the luxury DiamondJacks Spa. As with the
other casino hotels in Shreveport the hotel is minutes
away from other attractions like the Riverwalk and Discovery
Center. Visiting the casino resorts is one of the
best things to do when planning a trip to Louisiana.
There are a few noteworthy bed
and breakfast Shreveport hotels. The Slattery
House B&B is listed National Register of Historic
Places. This Victorian home has a wrap around porch, library,
parlor, formal dining room, and four spacious guest rooms
each with private baths. And the Fairfield Inn boasts
being the oldest and most elegant B&B in Shreveport.
Built in the 1870’s you can enjoy the Victorian
charm of this historic house then take in and afternoon
of sightseeing and gambling along the Red River.
If you are looking for cheap hotels in Shreveport you
best look away from the bed and breakfast or the casinos,
which can be pricey. Cheap hotels Shreveport offers are
like in any other small town, budget properties like Best
Western, Howard Johnson and Comfort Inn. Checking
the internet can get you a good variety of cheap hotels
Shreveport boasts and some even close to the gambling
and tourist action. There are some cheap hotels
Shreveport Airport offers, but it is much better to get
closer to the river to enjoy the full tourist experience.
Be careful when getting the very cheap hotels like Motel
Six and other motels, they are just as stated –
cheap and no more than a bed and bathroom, with little
amenities or luxury to be found.
If you like camping,
you can find many RV parks nearby Shreveport and excellent
State parks for camping and experience the outdoor fun
of fishing, golfing,
hiking and nature trails. There are even some cabins
for rent and a golf resort douth of the city to take the
entire family!
