Casino in Tunica

Casino Tunica

It’s funny how time changes things. Today, this small southern town offers more jobs (16,000) than it has residents to fill (10,000 current population) due to the ever-evolving casino industry. Visitors come from hours away to enjoy the south’s Casino Tunica, including top-notch gaming, affordable accommodations, scrumptious dining, and challenging golf courses.

Harrah’s Tunica

Tunica offers nine casino choices for the gaming enthusiast including Harrah’s Las Vegas Tunica, the largest casino resort between Las Vegas and Atlantic City. Harrah’s is a collage of three accommodation properties, a world-class convention center, an event and entertainment center, The Links at Cottonwood (Hale Irwin designed golf course), four pools (one indoor and three outdoor), tennis courts, eight restaurants, and Bellissimo Spa.

This resort is home to the new, larger-than-life Paula Deen Buffet featuring food stations bearing the names of Paula’s loved ones: Uncle Bubba’s Oyster House, Captain Michael’s Smokehouse, and Little Jack’s Corner. Gaming at Harrah’s Tunica consists of everything from craps to blackjack, over 2,000 slot machines, and one of the south’s largest poker rooms. Multiple restaurants tempt guests’ appetites and the full-service spa, Bellissimo, creates a haven for the pamper-seeking visitor.

Horseshoe Casino & Hotel

Horseshoe Casino & Hotel houses 65,000-square-feet of casino space with 1,700 slot and video poker machines. Horseshoe is also home to Bluesville, Tunica’s premier entertainment venue. January and February will feature the likes of George Jones, The Manhattans, and Olivia Newton-John. Check the web site for more entertainment information.

Tunica really is a miracle story, the transformation of a small, poverty-stricken community struggling to overcome the obstacles and challenges created by industries of yesteryear. Today, Tunica thrives, employing residents of the city, as well as a pull from surrounding areas. Tourism drives and sustains the economy of this southern Mississippi town.
