Still asking myself how I spent 21 days in July in Tunica. I guess trying to find my ass which is still missing,lol. If anyone locates it, please kick it...... Your best bets in Tunica are Harrah's Horseshoe and MGM's Goldstrike although the crowds and riff raff are unbearable at times.(I did checkout Sam's for the first time for a few hours and the employees were nice but I have no desire to go back)......Tunica's casinos are really just gambling joints and convenient for those within reasonable traveling distances. I would never recommend Tunica as a vacation destination for those who are not within a reasonable traveling distance unless a trip to Graceland tickles your fancy as it is within about 45 minutes.,,,,Really not much to do in Tunica(although they try with some decent entertainment like Meatloaf this past w-e,one decent golf course and a few decent restaurants but that is about it other than I like to chase cocktail waitresses for exercise,
)............a few days is probably enjoyable for most and I probably should be involuntarily committed for just having said the above then actually somehow spending 21 days straight in the cottonfields of Tunica,
as ive always said sams town is my fav, but horseshoes and goldstrike are the best to play at if you want to relax and maybe win some. i also like hollywood casino. i dont care that much for the grand , the golf course i hear is great and it is by far the largest casino in tunica but you never seem to get that comfy feeling playing there.i agree with nash, a 3 or 4 day stay is nice but anything over is a waste of time unless you wanna do the memphis thing which i highly recomend, graceland, beal street,and the civil rights tours about rev.m.l. king alot to do in that area .
i loved going on the tunica queen, did you get your pic taken too? it was really an interesting cruise, we took the morning one but i hear the supper cruise is the best one to take
True 10 minutes versus 45 to an hour to MEM plus no security hassle and get to the airport a hour before deals so it saves a good 2 hours of travel time. Yet, TUNICA INTERNATIONAL
is like a SHELL gas station,literally........a few charters and some private flights is all the traffic it gets...........not sure where the money will really go??????????????maybe another Starbucks,LOL
I want someone to come in, build a great casino with great VP and give Harrah's a run for their money.... And I'm sorry, I've lost the link for this story. 
If anyone wants it, post and I'll see if I can find the story again.
Can they make chicken salad out of chicken_______________???............At least a passing thought
...........I really, as I think you know, can only handle The Horseshoe and Gold Strike(and I think neither of us can handle Tunica on the w-e's,iirc) so lets hope for another option which would be nice,could give us a little leverage with our only current options.
Mousey, I did not notice any signs of construction or construction traffic when I was in Tunica in July but I was only in the GS casino and bars (imagine that) as I stayed all 21 days at the Shoe. It is possible since then but I am not in the know post July. I will try and make a call and ask an aquaintenance at the GS assuming she will give me the time of day.
MOUSEY, my friend and I had a good conversation today. Ironically, she has left GS and is now cocktailing at the Shoe. She said there is no current renovation at the GS and furthermore she added the back areas we do not see plus the rooms are nasty,(that is a quote). She said stay with The Shoe pursuant to me..........She was clueless as to GS's plans for any future renovation of the rooms upon my inquiring...........Hope this helps,Mousey, I did not notice any signs of construction or construction traffic when I was in Tunica in July but I was only in the GS casino and bars (imagine that) as I stayed all 21 days at the Shoe.

that "supposed" has been supposed for a couple years now.
Interesting........I only hang in the casino and the ultra lounge bar near the lobby mainly because some of THE SHOE gals like to walk over after work. I do not think I will be drinking anything there this w-e other than bottled water now and that prolly is risky plus no fun.
I feel sick
there are three i refuse to stay at fitzgeralds.....i had flea bites and a infested room full of fleas though they did move us to another floor and treated my bites
the goldstrike, as mousey said needs a much needed makeover, the rooms smells like a cross between dirty socks and stale beer and the floors are always wet, must be the spilt beer:eek2: last is balleys, last time i stayed there the rooms were not clean at all, spider webbs in the corner walls ,yuck!! as for the rest of the hotels they are great the others need to take a lesson in housekeeping from them imo......laurie
.......much better, i wonder if the remodeled the pullman suites also? i talked to one of the execs when i was down there a couple of weeks ago and they had said it was much better now ,infact they were putting down new carpeting on the main floor when i was playing. thanks for the pics, i may go back and stay a night or two now........laurie
....i was told that alot of the upper mgmt. had left h.s and gone to the fitz and as you said they are very happy about the change....................laurie
