These are the venue-to-city pairs that are documented for this topic. The file used for this article documents 318 venue measurements to Shreveport, but it is not a census of every casino in the city, region, or state.
That matters because a reader can use this page to understand fixed geography, but not to infer a complete market list. For a complete current list of venues in any jurisdiction, the right place to check is the relevant state, provincial, or tribal gaming regulator.
Where the documented venues sit relative to Shreveport
Shreveport is in Louisiana at 32.46388889, -93.79444444. Among the nearest documented venues in this set, Bally's Shreveport at 32.5174098, -93.744382 lies north and east of the city's reference point, while Boomtown Bossier City at 32.51, -93.73277778 also lies north and east.
Margaritaville Resort Casino at 32.521237, -93.743671 is likewise north and east of the Shreveport reference point. Those coordinate relationships explain why the nearest documented venues here cluster very close to Shreveport while still being separate fixed points on the map.
Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort, listed here under multiple keyword forms, sits at 34.484999, -93.057096. Relative to Shreveport's coordinates, that places it north and east as well, but much farther away in straight-line terms than the nearby Shreveport and Bossier City properties in this set.
What straight-line distance tells you, and what it does not
Straight-line distance is a clean geographic measure between two coordinates. It is useful when you want a consistent way to compare how near or far documented venues are from Shreveport without mixing in route choice, bridge crossings, detours, or local street patterns.
It does not tell you the distance you will travel on roads. Real routes bend around water, follow the available road network, respond to one-way systems, and sometimes cross jurisdiction boundaries in ways a straight line does not capture.
That gap between straight-line and road mileage can widen for several reasons:
- terrain that prevents a direct path
- water bodies that require bridge or causeway crossings
- road layouts that force indirect approach patterns
- state-line or local-boundary effects on how routes are laid out
Because of those factors, the straight-line figures in this article should be read as orientation, not as trip planning mileage. If you are deciding whether a venue is on the near side or far side of the wider region, straight-line numbers help; if you are deciding how to drive there, you need a live mapping service.
What is documented about the nearest named venues
For named venues near Shreveport, the published reference material here supports only limited, fixed venue facts. Bally's Shreveport is documented in Shreveport, Louisiana, with 1,100 slot machines, 403 hotel rooms, and ownership by Gaming and Leisure Properties at the documented point in time reflected by those sources.
Margaritaville Resort Casino is documented in Bossier City, Louisiana, with 1,200 slot machines, 395 hotel rooms, 26,500 square feet of gaming space, 50 table games, and ownership by Vici Properties with operation by Penn Entertainment at the documented point in time reflected by those sources.
Boomtown Bossier City is documented in Bossier City, Louisiana. The source material here includes an ownership statement, but it also carries a caution that the name can match more than one documented property, so this article does not attach any unsupported facility figures to that entry.
Why the city name and the venue name are not the same thing
A search for shreveport casinos often mixes city geography with individual properties. The city is the fixed reference point; the venues are separate fixed locations around it, and some of the nearest documented ones are in Bossier City rather than in Shreveport itself.
That is why the table above is framed from Shreveport outward. It lets you see which documented venues are closest to the city reference point without implying that every nearby property shares the same municipality.
What to confirm before you go
Before making a trip, confirm the live details that this article does not publish: current route mileage, current travel conditions, opening hours, parking arrangements, hotel availability, room pricing, and any venue-specific access rules. Those items change, and the authoritative current answer sits on the property's own contact, booking, or visitor-information channels and on live map-routing services.
Also confirm the venue identity if you are using a broad place search rather than a specific property name. That matters especially where a short keyword can refer to more than one documented property, as noted for the Bossier City entry in the published reference material used here.
FAQ
How many casinos are in Shreveport?
This article cannot give a total count for Shreveport. The documented file behind this topic includes 318 venue measurements to Shreveport, but it is explicitly not a census of every casino in any city, county, state, or country. For a complete and current list, check the relevant gaming regulator rather than treating this distance guide as a full inventory.
Is Bally's Shreveport in the city of Shreveport?
Yes, the documented venue entry places Bally's Shreveport in Shreveport, Louisiana. Its documented coordinates are 32.5174098, -93.744382, which are north and east of the Shreveport city reference point at 32.46388889, -93.79444444. The documented straight-line distance between the city reference point and Bally's Shreveport is 4.7 miles.
Can I use these numbers to estimate driving distance?
No. Every mileage figure in this article is a great-circle, straight-line measurement, and road distance is always longer. The difference comes from the shape of the road network, water crossings, indirect approaches, and other routing constraints. Use these figures to understand regional position, then check a live mapping service for the route you would really travel.
