Title: Touring Tennessee (plus Tunica Casinos) Post by: OverTheBorder on August 05, 2019, 06:36:13 PM Has anyone been to casinos in Tunica on the Mississippi?
I have just bought tickets to the CMA Fest next year and going to be driving around Tennessee (and nearby) May/June (so thankfully no WSOP staking threads). There seems to be a few casinos in Tunica and I am keen to understand how safe they may be and if they are actually any good. Anyone who has done anything decent around that area I would also welcome ideas of stuff to do?

The gist of it was that there were casinos and f all else there. Of course you can get beers, food and casino entertainment. Think it is fine if that is all you want. Can't recall anyone saying anything about it been unsafe.

Thanks Doobs, it is only a couple of days likely (its 45 mins from Memphis) so Gambling, drinking, food and tacky shows (if possible) are all I really want. I seem to be able to get comped at the Horseshoe, so that helps Title: Re: Touring Tennessee (plus Tunica Casinos) Post by: Chompy on August 06, 2019, 09:02:19 AM I stayed at Gold Strike and wouldn't recommend it. Poker fine there during festivals but pick a different hotel imo.

Graceland is definitely happening, we are doing a week of driving so will tick a few off. Just can’t do a fortnight without a casino....
