You might get a free or discounted room mailed to you from your favorite casino monthly.  Or you may just have driven past the resort area (non-casino) hotels and not known enough about them to ask for rates and a tour. Recently, several of us at the Tunica Convention & Visitors Bureau were invited to take tours of many resort area hotel rooms.  Whether you'll be staying here because casino rooms are sold out, or you are looking to save money, I found the non-casino hotel rooms were very comparable to casino hotel rooms in Tunica.  Here's a sneak peak of what you'd find.

Have you ever noticed that different casinos have their blackjack dealers place the cut card in different places in the deck? The cut card is a solid-color plastic card. After a player cuts the cards, the dealer then inserts the cut card into the deck. When he reaches the cut card while dealing cards, he knows it’s time to shuffle after the hand is completed.

When my wife and I go to a casino together, we usually go our separate ways to play. We have different favorites, I do a lot of scouting around the casino to see what’s new while she gets right into playing. We always take some time to find a couple of open seats side-by-side and play together for a bit. On one September trip, we settled into a couple of quarter three-reel slot machines. We each slid a $20 bill into the validator and started the reels spinning. A couple of seats down the row, a woman was varying her…

When the stresses of the week have gotten to you, sometimes you wish you could just escape. Usually your desire never becomes reality because most people don’t have time in the middle of the week to take a vacation and still be back in time for work in the morning. I decided I would try out the increasingly popular theory that Tunica is close enough to Memphis to take a work week getaway, but I will admit, I was skeptical. (more…)

It's football season!  That means every Saturday, Sunday, and Monday there is a big game on TV.  For those of you who will be in Tunica hitting the slots all weekend (or those of you who don't have the NFL package like me and still want to see the big game on big TVs), Travel Tunica decided you need to know where to catch the game if you aren't at home.

Barenaked Ladies is an unconventional name for a band, but then again the band has never claimed to be.  With quick speaking lyrics in songs like “One Week” and “Pinch Me”, Barenaked is an original. The band released their first album in the early 90’s, but I bought my first album, Stunt, during my college years and the songs were addictive and just made me want to dance. (more…)

Video poker players who have been around a while might remember a game called Flush Attack. Every so often, the game would go into “attack” mode, and the next flush on the bank of machines would pay as much as four of a kind. In the beginning sharp players would play until they were dealt a flush, or four parts of a flush, then  wait for the attack before drawing. The sharps would collect the big bonuses. The tourists didn’t stand a chance. (more…)
