Louisiana Bayou Best of IgoUgo

Overview

Quote:
It's always fun to take a chance at winning some extra cash or vehicle at the Casino. The restaurants are outstanding and reasonably priced. The casino is also child friendly, unlike some that don't allow children to even eat in the restaurants because they have to cross the casino floor.

Quick Tips:

Take plenty of spending loot. Register for your points card; after you earn a certain amount of dollars, you are given a certain amount of credits, which can be exchanged for either money or certificates to the restaurants inside.

Best Way To Get Around:

If you are staying on the premises, everything is within walking distance.

Story/Tip

Quote:
Every year we travel down to the lovely and Hot Louisiana to visit with my husband’s family. The roads are awful, but the food and fun make up for them. We visit the Paragon casino when we are in town. Although we don't walk away winners, we do walk away full and satisfied after eating at on of the several restaurants inside. The buffet is by far the best for the money; there are over 95 tasty items and on Friday night, there is a seafood buffet. If you have a hankering for some good fried crawfish, then you need to eat at Roxy's. Roxy's is a ‘50s-style diner serving classic American fare, such as shakes poured at you table.
