Lake Charles

Lake Charles


Every part of Louisiana is a little bit different, and that goes double for Lake Charles which was not even part of the original Louisiana Purchase. For nearly 15 years this area was deemed a “no man’s land” not owned or regulated by any country.   Accordingly, renegades, pirates and others who were “different”, as well as second sons who were not going to inherit their family’s holdings, came to the area to start anew and make their fortunes in Southwest Louisiana.

Lake Charles has a little bit of everything that defines Louisiana’s inimitable character. Here you’ll find Cajun and Creole cuisine (including fresh Louisiana seafood and hot boudin), untouched marshlands filled with birds and wildlife along the Creole Nature Trail All-American Road, year-round local celebrations overflowing with food (including the 2nd largest Mardi Gras in Louisiana!), live music and friendly people, as well as luxury relaxation, amazing dining, shopping and entertainment at our 4-star casino resorts.

In a nutshell, it’s everything you know and love about Louisiana in one hot spot. Located just 2 hours east of Houston, Texas and 3.5 hours west of New Orleans, Lake Charles’ is a must stop on your Louisiana or Deep South itinerary.
