Ive been there many times. The casino is decent, but the buffet stinks.

Antique shopping in New Orleans isn't like other places. These are REAL antiques. If you want the good stuff...bring money. Lots and lots of money. People come from all over the country to shop New Orleans for high end antiques. Take a stroll down Royal street in the daytime to see just a few of the high end shops.

As for "collectables", there isn't much. There are a couple of little places down on Magazine Street in the Garden district.
