Tunica, MS ?

[WOXOF]

What brings you to Tunica? Dumb question. If you want to do anything besides gamble, plan a trip to Memphis. I think there are shuttles that run between Memphis and Tunica. You'll want to check out downtown Memphis / Beale Street. Sarge had some good ideas. If you want some BBQ and you are downtown, check out Rendezvous. My favorite place for BBQ is the Commissary in Germantown, TN, but that's a little out of the way. Interstate BBQ is a close 2nd and would be on the way if you are driving to Memphis from Tunica.

Check out Beale St if you can. Some additions to Sarge's list are Swigs(Martini bar), and Pat O'Briens(no cover charge, cigar friendly).

I live just south of Memphis. I normally stay away from downtown during May, but let me know if you make it up to Memphis, maybe I can sneak away.

My grandparents live about 45 miles south of Tunica, so I remember it before it got the casinos. It was nothing but a highway and a few gas stations. Now, it's a funny place to drive through. You drive for miles and miles through the middle of nowhere, all of a sudden some casinos and some outlet malls pop up, and as soon as you see them, you're through Tunica and back in the middle of nowhere.

My favorite Mississippi gambling spot is Biloxi, although I haven't seen it post-Katrina yet.

I'm there for the OTHER side of gambling... I'm a "booth babe" for some big gaming show they have down there (Southern Gaming Summit?).

Man, I wan't expecting Vegas, but I was hoping for something more than "Casinoville, USA"

It's ok for what it is. I hope you have a high tolerance for mullets and tank tops.

Well, I am looking to get the "Southern Experience"

If you're looking for some BBQ, I know Sam's Town Casino has a Corky's BBQ restaurant inside. I can't promise that it is comparable to the other Corky's though.
