Shreveport Downtown airport is less than a mile from the riverboats in
Shreveport, LA. No shuttle service but a cabride for a mile cant be more
than 10 bux (well it can, but I digress). I've never done downtown,
always went to the big airport and stayed with family out there.

Actually, it's about 2 miles from DTN to the middle of the US-79 bridge over
the Red River... There are a couple of casinos within a block or two of the
bridge, IIRC... The other casinos are located south of the I-20 bridge and
as such are around 3.5 to 4 miles away... I've walked from DTN to downtown
before (didn't have a cell phone and no pay phone was around the airport)...
It was night and some of the areas that you walk through, it probably is in
your best interest to pay attention to your surroundings... Shreveport has
kind of gone downhill over the last 30 years... Probably like a lot of inner
cities, I guess...
