Les meilleurs hôtels à Shreveport

The Red River has always figured large in Shreveport's story. The city's real start came in the 1830s when Captain Henry Miller Shreve cleared a massive log jam and opened the river to navigation. Today, casinos on the river fuel the city's economy and draw visitors from all over the Ark-La-Tex area. Shreveport's size and location have contributed to its emergence as an educational, sports and arts center. Education is served by four post-secondary schools. Sports fans have the annual Independence Bowl, the Shreveport Captains class AA baseball team and the Shreveport Storm Continental Basketball Association team. Culture clubbers have museums, galleries, a symphony, opera and ballet company. Shreveport is also a fun center, with casino gambling in the riverboat casinos, horse racing at Louisiana Downs and video poker at the truck stops. Weekend warriors can play capture the flag at a local paintball park, and festival goers can party for days at the Red River Revels in September.
