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.
