Boomtown - Bossier City Hotel

Asked on the travel board, and evidently all those guys actually work for a living.
I've got a trip to Shreveport coming up after the first of the year and Boomtown is advertising a ridiculously low rate. I'll basically be all over northwest Louisiana for a few days and just need a place to sleep, shower, and store a suitcase. Any reason I should avoid this place in particular?

Shreveport? Yes, you should avoid it.

So you chose a casino

No. It's fine. It's one of the lower level casinos, but still better than a Courtyard Marriott or something like that.
Also extremely safe and convenient and has on-site restaurant/bars.

Stay at the Horseshoe.
You’re welcome

The wife and I were going to be driving through a couple of years ago and decided to spend a couple nights at the Horseshoe as that used to be the pinnacle of Shreveport.
It had gone downhill and was pretty shitty. We walked down to the Margarittaville one which was brand new and seemed a lot nicer.
FWIW, if you’re just looking for a decent place to crash why the hell would you go to a casino hotel and deal with all the extra stuff?

Negative. I'd stay at the Hilton Shreveport. After that, Margarittaville or The Horseshoe.

My kinda place!

Boomtown is easily the lowest tier casino in SBC. I haven't been in it in years, so I can't speak first hand, but it's way down on the list of hotels I can think of for recommendations.
If it's mid-week, pretty much any of the other casino hotels should be priced well. The Residence Inn in the Boardwalk is pretty new, and close that area.

Yes, it is a perfectly fine place to stay.

Anywhere but a motel would work. A casino, any kind, will for sure be ok.

Stay at The Remington

I thought boomtown closed?
Nightlife is down barksdale now.
Boardwalk got the mall treatment.
Bunch of empty buildings.

You should stay at the Holiday Inn Holidome

I have business travel to Shreveport once a month. My travel days are M/T/W. I always stay at Margaritaville. Nice place and $80 a night. Don’t care about the casino but there are some decent restaurants there and other options next door. All the Interstate exit hotels are $100-$120 night

Its not bad, especially if you got a good rate. Not my first choice for casino/hotels, but I'd stay there no problem.

Sounds like you're going to business/work, why the need to go slumming it?
Posted on 12/13/23 at 5:11 pm to meAnon
Hit up Silver Star BBQ when you’re in Bossier
Posted on 12/13/23 at 5:26 pm to meAnon
I was in the area and saw the same rate. It can be a hassle getting to room as in all large facilities
But that’s a great rate

I travel to Shreveport for business and usually stay at Margaritaville. Rooms are clean and spacious. There's a Dragos restaurant. Decent sushi place right across the street.
