Prime Downtown Location with 24-Hour Casino
Review From: NexTag Editorial Review, Jun 9, 2008
The Boomtown Casino Hotel is situated in
the downtown area of Bossier City, just
minutes away from Shreveport Regional
Airport. The hotel is also close to many
area attractions including Cash Pointe
Marina and the Independence Bowl. The
Century Tel Convention Center is only
five miles away, and the Pierre Bossier
Mall is two miles away.
The busy hotel offers 96 guest rooms and
92 suites, all air-conditioned and
nicely appointed. All rooms feature
cable television, ceiling fans,
coffeemakers, and hair dryers. In-room
safes, irons, and ironing boards are
also included. Internet access is
available but only dial-up service is
offered, and fees do apply. Local calls,
however, are free of charge. The walls
of the guest rooms are a bit thin; noise
and conversations from nearby guests can
be overheard.
The hotel's biggest draw is its casino.
The 24-hour operation offers 36 table
games and over 1,100 slot machines. The
casino can be crowded at times, as it is
also popular with the locals. The hotel
also offers a gift shop, a meeting room,
and four restaurants. These restaurants
offer a variety of dining choices from
an international buffet to a steakhouse.
The service is adequate but the hotel
has a reputation of getting reservation
details wrong. Be sure to clarify and
confirm all details carefully when
booking. Overall, the Boomtown Casino
Hotel is a good stay despite these concerns.
