Instead of jeans and t-shirts and the usual laid back date, get dressed up for a romantic night out. Reach into the back of your closet for that suit or cocktail dress you rarely wear and step out to enjoy the Shreveport Symphony Orchestra. With various performances scheduled throughout the year, it's a great opportunity to absorb some classical music and soar with some of the area's culture vultures instead of the usual bar flies.

If you're feeling particularly lucky and want to see how that luck will translate into cash, you can take several chances at the Horseshoe Casino Hotel. With 1,500 slot machines and 50 table games, the odds are pretty good that you'll walk away with a little more in your pocket, as well as the memory of the fun nightlife experience. And if all that gaming increased your appetite, you can enjoy a celebratory meal at the hotel's steak house, Asian restaurant, buffet, cafe and grille, or deli.

Carrying the tradition of performing arts from generation to generation is the primary goal of the Theatre of the Performing Arts. Aside from putting on various stage productions, the theater also makes education another high priority, as students, members of various civic organizations, and other clubs all take part in programs that foster a continued interest in taking center stage.

Enjoy domestic, foreign, and microbrew beers as well as live entertainment. The festival is a partnership between Mudgub Madness, Red River Revel Arts Festival, Eldorado Casino and downtown Shreveport Unlimited. Proceeds benefit additional programs provided by the DSU and the Revel so a good cause benefits from such a fun and highly attended event.
