“Wastin away in Margaritaville…Lookin for that lost shaker of salt…”

WOW! The Margaritaville concept has come a looooong way from a talented dreamer playing four chords on a guitar in Key West, New Orleans and Hattiesburg.

The Margaritaville Resort Casino and Hotel in Bossier City, Louisiana is a true winner.  We stayed at the hotel as one of our stops on our June casino tour. It was our second visit to the facility.

Several aspects of the venture are impressive.  For starters, every inch of the place is Margaritaville. The Jimmy Buffet theme and music is throughout the dining, drinking, gaming, clothing, hotel and food areas.  People seemed excited and happy to be there.
Second, the crowds were impressive.  There was a good mix of young, middle-aged and senior citizens in the casino gaming areas, the hotel and the bars and restaurants.  One comment we hear frequently from casino operators and managers is that they are not attracting and drawing in the 25 – 40 age group. Our observation was that Margaritaville in Bossier City is an exception to that belief.

Third, their numbers are impressive.  They opened for business in June 2013 and immediately captured 20 percent of the seven-casino Bossier City/Shreveport gaming revenues.  The facility has a 400 room hotel, 1,200 slots, 54 tables along with a buffet, restaurant-bar and a large and beautiful pool-cabana bar.

Margaritaville Resort Casino Hotel, Bossier City, Louisiana is owned by Bossier Casino Venture, Inc., and is privately held.

Put this one on your “must-see” list.  It is a great place to visit and among the best in the Southeast.
