New Orleans  is a seductress - a gracious old beauty, totally comfortable with her years, who knows full well she still has the power to entice and enchant. Situated in the crescent carved by a lazy, outward curve of the Mighty Mississippi, the city, like the river, is passionate yet placid; sociable yet nonchalant; insouciant yet dignified. Less proper than Charleston, less Southern than Savannah, New Orleans shares with these two seasoned belles a love of fine food, good company, and graceful architecture.

But where Charleston and Savannah may worry about what the world thinks of them, New Orleans is not afraid to show her petticoats, especially if it means she's having fun. This lighthearted attitude has endowed New Orleans with several soubriquets - The Big Easy, The City That Care Forgot, and of course, the motto "Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez" (Let the Good Times Roll).

Whether you're in search of rich culture, deep history, great casino gaming, delicious food, or just the party of your life -- New Orleans has got something to offer. With it's numerous casino's, historical tours, 5 star restaurants, and the infamous Mardi Gras celebration, The Big Easy has made a reputation for itself world wide.
