While in Tunica, you won’t be lacking for a great dining experience as Lisa & I found out at Gold Strike’s Chicago Steakhouse!  I’m not always a regular patron of our local steakhouses because I most often think that they’re for special occasions, when I am looking to gorge myself on a juicy steak with some great wine.  But sometimes in the middle of the week or when you’re looking to sit at gaming table for a few hours, you want a meal that’s not too heavy.

Way back in the late 1980s, before casinos came to Mississippi (or anywhere else in the United States outside Nevada and New Jersey), I was walking through the Flamingo in Las Vegas on a busy Friday night. Rows and rows of slot machines were busy, but as I cruised the aisles, I spotted one empty spot. I made my way past five or six machines, and found a single idle game amidst a slot-playing frenzy.

It’s only a few days into the new year, and I find myself wanting to look forward to a getaway.  It really is the best way to cure the winter blues.  Sometimes that “getaway” is just down the road because the entertainment is coming to me in the new year in Tunica! (more…)
