In the early days of riverboat gambling in Shreveport, Louisiana, card sharks and cowboys resorted to gun battles to settle gambling disputes. Today, the fun is a bit more regulated and safe, but the excitement still looms large. There are two stationary riverboat casinos in Shreveport and each offers something different. There are three more riverboat casinos across the river in nearby Bossier City.
The Eldorado Resort Casino features elegantly appointed rooms, 42-inch flat-screen televisions, marble bathrooms, Wi-Fi, iPod docks, oversized bathtubs, and a full-service spa. There are a variety of restaurants ranging from fine dining to casual and banquet facilities. The casino boasts 1,500 slot machines and more than 60 table games.
