Louisiana's Old Governor's Mansion has, in a sense, gotten a second chance. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it is a breathtakingly beautiful structure that also serves as the headquarters for the Foundation for Historical Louisiana. The home has a dramatic history all its own. The structure was built in 1929 by Huey P. Long and served as the governor's residence until 1963 when a new structure was built. The house museum now houses rare artifacts, documents, and other relics of Louisiana's history and features regular tours headed by highly knowledgeable guides. The venue is also available for private parties, family gatherings and weddings.

Dine, relax, play, be entertained and stay at the Paragon Casino Resort. You'll find everything you'd expect from a first class vacation attraction, plus a whole lot more, too. Aside from big name entertainment and great gaming, there's an amazing menu and accommodations that are so inviting, you may extend your stay for a few more nights to continue experiencing all that the Paragon has to offer.

The Texas Club is a nightlife destination that lives up to the state of its namesake by delivering big on fun, friends and frolicking! A huge dance floor means that you won't be crowded when you two-step the night away with your partner. Plus, the large stage and excellent sound system get plenty of use as several big name artists frequently are booked for live shows. All that, great drink prices, an excellent staff and tons of fun contests all make the Texas Club the best place in the country.

Crawfish is synonymous with Louisiana, so celebrate that fact at the Breaux Bridge Crawfish Festival. Held every year, the gathering is considered to be one of the best food festivals in the whole country. Great family fun, live music, and lots of crawfish! Make sure you have some cool water or beverage for all the spicy fun.
