First off, I reallly like the website. Secondly, this will be my first trip to Tunica and I was wondering what to expect? I have been to casinos in: Illinois of course, Indiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, Las Vegas
(about 2 times a year),and Mesquite. Where should we goto gamble, eat, drink, etc.? Thanks, Mike

I hope you enjoy your first trip to Tunica. For your first trip, you'll probably want to sample many or all of the casinos to see where your favorites are. Tunica is really a gambling town. There are 9 casinos pretty much plunked down in the middle of cotton fields. Although there are some attractions, including the outlet mall, the Riverboat Queen and Museum, and nearby Memphis, it is pretty much gambling there. There is entertainment there, but not on the Vegas scale. Hopefully you'll have access to a car there to get around, as the shuttle between the casino's has been terminated. If not, I believe Harrahs has a car rental service on site. (Harrahs did, last I heard, have a shuttle between Harrahs and Horseshoe/Sheraton, which are Harrahs properties)
Everyone has their favorite casinos, for different reasons.
Harrahs-obviously owned by Harrahs. Is the largest casino in Tunica. I believe they have 3 hotels. One is "attached" to the casino by a covered walkway. The others require a shuttle bus or car to get to and from the casino. I believe the buses run every 5 minutes or so. Paula Deen's buffet is there and I thought it was very good.
There are 3 casinos within walking distance in Casino Center:
Sheraton-owned by Harrahs. It's a smaller casino that I used to play in quite a bit, but really don't go to as much. Lots of changes have been going on there, as in much of Tunica.
Horseshoe-also owned by Harrahs. Very popular for table games. They have a lot of good concerts there. The buffet there consistently ranks in the top for buffets. I've never eaten at the steakhouse there, but heard it was good.
Gold Strike-An MGM property. The tallest property in Tunica. The lobby is beautiful, with kind of a vegas-like feel. (Not the long walks to the rooms like Vegas though) Gold Strike has a food court (with free wifi), buffet, Atrium Cafe (open 24 hours), and steakhouse. I've heard the poker room there is nice. I believe Gold Strike is also going to be opening an "ultra-lounge" in the near future.
Bally's-A Resorts Casino. The hotel there is not attached to the casino. Property has a shuttle bus to transport. Kind of looks like a big barn. It's out "on it's own" like Harrahs. I really haven't played there much.
Fitz-Also on it's own. An Irish-themed castle. It's also got a more intimate-locals feel. The remodeled rooms there are very nice. Fitz has a buffet (usually fairly good and open 24 hours), a cafe with limited hours (which is usually good, but service can be spotty) and a steakhouse which is pretty good. You can usually find table games at lower limits at Fitz.
Sam's Town-A Boyd Property. I really haven't played there a lot in the last few years. They also have a food court of sorts, I believe they have Corky's BBQ on their buffet. If you're willing to make a longer, and somewhat dangerous walk across Highway 61, you can walk to Resorts and Hollywood from there.
Resorts-A Resorts property. Across the highway from Sam's Town. Mostly slots there. Easily the "queen of the mailers" as they mail out offers all the time, which I'm sure makes it a favorite of the locals. I've only eaten at the buffet there, which I'd rate as ho-hum.
Hollywood-Right next to ResortsHas a lot of Hollywood memorabilia. Even a moat in there. Others here have spent much more time at Hollywood. For some reason, I just never have been able to "warm up" to it, but it's been a favorite for others.
All of the casinos serve free drinks to those who are playing. (Don't forget to tip). I believe there are bars in most of them. Some of them are more private than others.
As I said, everyone has their favorites, and they often change. Currently my favorites now are Fitz and Gold Strike.

 aboard Mike.
I think Lynn, did good overview of the casinos for you. Eating is an on and off thing it seems. One time you go and the food is great and the next time maybe not. There are plenty of eating places and if you like BBQ they have some good Corky's BBQ at Sams Town buffet.
I think the Graceland tour would be fun and they have a Beale street tour also that you might enjoy.
Again welcome to the board.
