Exciting entertainment

The French Quarter is a completely individual, distinctive place. It is magical and wondrous, comforting and exciting, all at the same time. It is unlike any other place on earth.

Bourbon Street is world-famous; live shows, incredible music, clubs, beautiful balconies, and unbelievable crowds. Those who go to New Orleans wander down to Bourbon Street so that when they get home, if for no other reason, they can say that they walked Bourbon Street.

Decatur and Frenchmen streets are more streets that have great live music after the sun sets. The House of Blues gives visitors smooth blues, the Palm Court Jazz Café offers cool jazz, Café Brasil on Frenchmen gives a Latin flavor, and Snug Harbor displays local talent.

The magic of New Orleans stretches beyond the French Quarter though. Outside of the Quarters’ limits, the Arts District will satisfy the needs of those seeking to fulfill their creative side; the historic Faubourg Marigny neighborhood will provide sightseers with incredible beautiful architectural views, and don’t forget all of the sights and sounds further Downtown along the Mississippi.

For those feeling a little lucky, Harrah’s provides some of the most exquisite and electrifying gaming opportunities in New Orleans. Live shows, stay and play packages, rewards, and special events (Masquerade Nights), make Harrah’s a major New Orleans entertainment attraction.

Not all of New Orleans’ attractions are nightlife-only. Numerous natural parks and guided tours will help visitors make the most of their trips. Take a horse or mule-drawn carriage ride throughout one of the many impressive NOLA neighborhoods and districts. These trips are a great relaxing way to see the best sights New Orleans has to offer while learning things that you won’t get in any guidebook or by wandering about on your own. Visit St. Louis Cathedral, the oldest cathedral in America; look around or come in to worship. New Orleans has great offerings for both day and night.
