We are planning to go to tunica late this summer anyone know where the best place to play and stay would be. The poker players I talk to have it narrowed to Horseshoe Gold strike and Harrahs with a couple of votes for Sams Town. I have heard that Sams Town has$1 or$2 dollar tables can anyone confirm this?

Yep, thats about it.  Don’t forget its very close to Memphis (if flying, thats probably where you’ll land) so leave some time for Beale Street.  I’d vote for the Horseshoe and an upgraded room.  Nothing like a TV in the bathroom.  I don’t know about the table minimums, sorry.

Thanks, just looking at Harrahs site the hotel is so far from the casino you have to to drive or ride their shuttle, that takes them off of the list.Horseshoe does seem like the best choice by far.

Well, you have to take into account that Tunica is basically a couple of casino areas out in the middle of nowhere.  You’ll probably use the shuttle some.  If you’re going to be there long enough to get bored with gaming, I would recommend renting a car.

I am pretty sure we will drive. I know for my part I will not get bored or want to leave the tables unless my luck runs bad and I go bust. If we do anything it will be cut the trip short and head home maybe stop at Memphis then
