Harrah’s Louisiana Downs
Bossier City, Louisiana
Bossier City’s East Texas Street address is east of the main Bossier City gaming strip on the Red River — Harrah’s Louisiana Downs is situated apart from the waterfront casino corridor, adjacent to the horse racing track itself. This separation from the riverside casinos reflects the property’s origins as a dedicated horse racing facility rather than a riverboat casino. The track’s Super Derby — a Grade II thoroughbred stakes race run each September — is one of the significant American prep races for the three-year-old season, drawing top-class horses and national racing attention.
