I will be arriving at the train station and staying at the Hilton. I plan on going to the casino, game and bourbon street. Here is a map. Tell me what streets are not safe. TIA

Just stay on Bourbon street and if somebody asks you where you "where you got your shoes at?". Then just give them the $20 and run away.

Everything inside the borders of your labeled destinations is what I would consider to be safe. The neighborhood on the other side of the Pontchartrain Expy from the train station is an absolute war zone. I'm not sure there is a worse neighborhood in the country.

Don't venture across N. Rampart from the Quarter. That's the Iberville projects. In fact stay in the more touristy areas of the Quarter(Bourbon to the river, Iberville to about Dumaine). The exception is Decatur is generally safe for the length of it. Most of the crime occurs in the more residential areas because it's quieter and darker.
If you head towards the Quarter from the casino, use N. Peters right by Canal Place shopping center(across Canal st. from casino). At times, Canal St. around Bourbon can get dodgy.
From your hotel to the casino is fine especially along convention center blvd. Stick with Poydras St. when headed to the Dome.

The other side of the Pontchatrain Expressway (I-10) is bad before St Charles Avenue. You have the Quarter of course, but the Wharehouse District has alot of great places to eat and party and you are right there just go away from the quarter from your hotel but avoid crossing under the I-10. If you want, take Magazine or Prytania uptown and everything is good in terms of eating and drinking. Try Freret St. and Oak aint bad either, These areas are where locals go so it is what I consider "real New Orleans". The line in the sand is St.Charles Avenue, towards the river is good to Magazine St., away from the river within 2 blocks is where our locals stack bodies. I policed this area for 14 years and it turns ugly quick, you'll see it. Have a great time except for 3 and a half hours on monday night and Have a Great Day!
