Has anyone been to the Silver Star casino in Philadelphia Mississippi lately?  I know that when it opened years ago it was pretty nice, but have read some not so good reviews in the last few years. 

Thank you!

I have never been there nor I have heard of it.  I went to their web site and it does look nice.  It is a little under 200 miles from Tunica. That might be a good side trip if the weather is nice.  Will let you know if I go there the 1st part of April.  2012.

What exactly did you hear that was bad?  food, service, area?

I have mainly heard that the service (mostly staff) were very rude.  Someone also said that it has become kind of run-down and had some seedy looking types just “hanging around”.  I have heard that they have recently received new financing and new management.

I am so concerned because my wife does not gamble and mainly stays in the room and just relaxes.  Just want her to have a good time too.

We just got back from Tunica a couple of weeks ago.  Stayed at the Gold Strike and had a blast - good luck!

Just a quick Philadelphia, MS update.  Stayed at the Silver Star at Pearl River Resort and it was awesome!  Everything but the winnings.

They have 5 or so craps tables with most of them being the $5 variety - only w $10 tables.  Even on a very crowded Saturday night, the minimums did not change.  If this is one of the closest casinos to you, I would highly recommend it.
