In Tunica all there is do is casinos. Tunica is a small town that got lucky when Mississippi let gambling in. There just is not much to do there except gamble and eat.

Memphis...About fifty miles from Tunica is your best bet for fun outside of the casinos.

You want Bar-B-Q...Memphis is the Bar-B-Q capital of the world. The Rendezvous downtown, Corkys on Poplar Ave, or my favorite Interstate Bar-B-Q on Third Street have excellent "Q".

Memphis has so much to do it's unbelieveable. Check out Beale Street for starters. Also since you comming this way in May, Memphis in May will be in full swing. Basically Memphis in May is a street festival that lasts for a full month. Lots of big name bands are in town for that.

Memphis also has it's fair share of Cigar Shops...The Memphis Tobacco Bowl downtown is cool. you see a few famous folks in there occasionally. The Tobacco Corner at Poplar and Mendnehal is the oldest cigar shop in Memphis. It has an atmosphere that many newer shops don't have.

Enjoy your stay down south.
