Bossier City
Just over the river from Shreveport sits Bossier City. The Horseshoe Bossier City casino resort, which offers a variety of casino gambling opportunities as well as top-notch restaurants and a swimming pool, attracts lots of guests who cross the river to visit.
The 8th Air Force Museum, which is housed at Barksdale Air Force Base, features a number of exhibits about the history of the Air Force as well as antique aircraft. There are many opportunities to unwind and take in the outdoors in the close-by Red River National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge has a preserved natural area and an educational tourist center. The refuge is a popular place to go hiking, fishing, wildlife watching, and birding.
More than 60,000 people live in Bossier City, which is located on the Red River across from its sister city Shreveport. Together with its neighbor, this area serves as the Ark-La-Tex region's gaming hub, with enormous casino resorts in the vein of Las Vegas dotting both banks of the river while being dotted with shopping centers and first-rate family activities.
A number of projects in the city, including the Louisiana Boardwalk outlet mall and the trendy new East Bank District with locally owned pubs and restaurants, have been made possible thanks to gaming revenue. The Red River National Wildlife Refuge is a natural area in the southern outskirts of Bossier City, and Barksdale Air Force Base will captivate aviation buffs and features a top-notch museum.
