Karaoke . . . not it that much hurry for a report but we go back n April, 2009.
HERE IS MY 1st Trip Report to Tunica . . . . . it s also posted on http://tunicams.yuku.com/forums . . . . which is another super TUNICA web site.
There are other things I report on there also . . . .
We finally went on our 1st 'free' Harrah's Tunica junket out of Myrtle Bech, SC on 1 March 2009. I was skeptic of the 'free' . . . but it was FREE !!!! Going again free in April. Stayed at the Terrace Hotel which was very nice. The trip was flawless and they take care of all your luggage !!!
I am not much of a 1 cent slots person . . . but the .25, .50, 1.00 reel slot machines were just no paying what I thought they should after so many spins. My wife will sit at Wizard of Oz with $100 and hope to win . . . did not happen. She did very good (lucky) on a 'Glitz' machine. She also played the ONLY one 'Dean Martin' slot (same as 'Glitz' with different symbols) until it mezmorized her with the songs . . . . . she did not do so good.
I like to be within speaking range of her so I sat 2 machines from her at a 'KaBoom' 1 cent machine. Two . . TWO hours later I cashed out wih a $400 ticket. I put 100 dollar bill in to start and it was sooooooo hot !!!!!! Had a real good time with that one. I guess I need to pay more attention to these type of machines. I WILL NOT play those 8 line slots that my wife throws her money into and never wins big. Now she gets lucky when she goes to a machine she has never played . . . . . like the one she won on the last morning before we left. It was a 'Kiss the Frog' type thing video slot. Hits $200 on the 2nd spin with 30 nickels in. She got "kiss the frog bonus" and hit 4,000 coins. Made the trip home very bearable. I went with $600 and came home with $450 . . . . so I was happy with that.
That's it . . . . . until end of April 2009 . . . and I will report back then.

Nice. Did you stay only at Harrahs? Any good eats? Any thing else of mentioning? What were the table limits? Were the majority of the machines what value? Thanks, MIke

We stayed only at Harrah’s Casino ‘Terrace Hotel’. We only played at Harrah’s this last trip. We ate at ‘Paula Deen’s buffet which I thought was “ok”. The small snack bar in the casino was awful. We did well at the slots with holding our own with money management. DID NOT come home with less than we went with . . . . .
If you go to the Horseshoe Casino (a short shuttle away) and play a slot machine or game for 30 minutes they will comp you a 24/7/24 hour buffet ticket.
There are a gazillion slots to play. . . . all kinds of denominations . . . .everywhere . . . . and different ones at each casino. Table games at Harrah’s are $10 up. . . . . and cheaper at the ‘Shoe’ I have heard. We will visit there in April. That is why I would like your ‘TRIP REPORT’ before we go . . . . . and of course anyone else’s.
We really enjoyed ourselves at the Harrah’s casino. We look forward to going to the Horseshoe, Sheraton (Harrah’s property) and Gold Strike Casinos (these 3 are right next to each other) on our next trip. Do not hear much about the Gold Strike . . . . . and we try to stay loyal to a Harrah’s property. Make sure you use your casino rewards cards. Very . . . VERY important !!!
We go to enjoy . . . play conservative (well we try) and just have fun !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for the fun trip report Rich.
Sounded like you had a nice trip and the wins kept you in the green. I've never stayed at Harrah's in Tunica, only because I prefer to just take the elevator to the casino. I have stayed at the Horseshoe and liked it very much. Plus you have two other properties in close proximity to visit for playing or dinning options. Two of which are Harrah's properties.
We tried the new Paul Deen buffet on our last trip and enjoyed it very much. The Horseshoe has an awesome buffet also.
Good luck on your next trip, and I look forward to your report on it.

Oh . . . nuts !!!!
We are going April 21-24, 09. Man am I sorry we will miss you guys !!!!! Oh well . . . I will load up the machines for you. . . . . . or maybe unload !!! THAT would be nice. This trip will again be at Terrace Hotel but we plan on seriously investigating the 'Horeshoe' and 'Gold Strike'. I have seen very little chatter on the 'Sheraton' . . . or for that matter the Gold Strike. Everyone seems to like the 'Shoe' . . . . so we will check it out.

Rich,
I personally like the Sheraton. It's a Harrah's property, so if you're a Total Rewards member, you can earn and use points there. The Sheraton is small, so there is not as large of a selection of machines as some of the other properties. But it seems that the customer service has been better and faster there than some of the other places. Plus, I seem to win better there!
It's all about preferences. |

Rich,
Thanks for the trip report. Sounds like a great time and getting to come home with most of your money is definitely a plus.
Can't wait to hear about your next trip. Looks like you'll be there right before us. Good Luck!
