Income from gaming has financed a series of projects around the city, like the Louisiana Boardwalk outlet mall and the hip new East Bank District, with locally-owned bars and restaurants. Sitting on the Red River opposite its sister city, Shreveport, Bossier City is a community of more than 60,000.Ĭombined with its neighbor, this is a gaming hub for the Ark-La-Tex region, with huge, Vegas-style casino resorts lining both banks of the river, interspersed with malls and top-notch family attractions.
