I confess.....I'd like to check out Mardis Gras some year.
I would like to say you should come here to Shreveport to experience it, but while it's much fun here and draws about 1/2 million people, there is NOTHING like Mardi Gras in New Orleans. That experience is so extreme, in fact, that I refuse to ever go back. Way too much going on for me. With over 1 million people crammed into the French Quarter, you can only imagine. At least here, it's about 1/2 million people spread out over a 5-mile span along the riverfront. It's still a LOT of people in every spot, but it's nothing like New Orleans. New Orleans is crazy.... there is no other way I can put it. But you've got to experience it just once at the very least.
Edited: I said "50-mile span" above but meant "5-mile span". Fixed.
