I am close enough, in Nashville, that Tunica always sounded like it might be an enjoyable weekend. Stay in a nice hotel, go to a nice restaurant or two, lose 100 bucks at roulette and call it a night.
Then I talked to people who had been there, and they were like, what nice hotel? what nice restaurant? Yes you can lose money, but beyond that there are no amenities, and you’re basically on a mudflat in the Delta.
Actually, Tunica is a pretty cool place if you show horses. They have a really nice show arena complex that hosts a lot of shows through the year. Plus it has the best home style restaurant in the world, The Blue and White.
