When you’re ready for a break from all the gaming action, head to the nearby Creole Nature Trail All American Road for a peaceful Southern wetland safari.

Fishing is also a must in this sportsman’s paradise, where such major tournaments as ESPN’s Red fi sh Cup and the Red fi sh Nation Q Series take place each year. Hire yourself a local guide and try your hand at the sport on the still waters of the bayou.

Louisiana's Cajun country is home to more than 75 annual fairs and festivals, tranquil golf greens, thrilling casino gaming and an up-and-coming culinary scene. French settler Martin LeBleu and his wife became the fi rst European residents of this cultural city in 1781, laying the foundation for the rich Franco in fl ected heritage known as Cajun or Acadian culture. This means spicy jambalaya, zydeco music and Mardi Gras. In fact, the city’s Mardi Gras celebration rivals that of New Orleans. Lake Charles’s pre-Lenten holiday features spectacular costumes, fun- fi lled parades and festive activities like the original, but with a decidedly local touch. In that same vein of thrilling decadence, Lake Charles is home to some of the region’s most popular gaming establishments. Delta Downs
