Tunica is alot of fun. I have been several times since it is the closest place to gamble for me. I would suggest staying at the Gold Strike. It will run you anywhere from 80 to 100 dollars a night, but is well worth it. They are really good about giving you buffet tickets when you ask for them if you play at the tables for an hour or so. There are two casinos in walking distance, Horseshoe and the Sheraton. All the other casinos you would have to drive too. The Horseshoe is really good to get drinks at. The bartenders are nice and helpful. If your interested in seeing a concert check out the Horseshoe website. They always have someone playing who is usually pretty good. I've seen Montgomery Gentry there and the tickets are reasonably priced. Right down from GS & HS is the Hollywood casino which is fun and really loud. I'm a couple years older than you, so when I first went I thought there would be clubs and bars to hang out in, but there is nothing like that there. It is strickly casinos and a really good Krystal if your hungry. Hope this helps a little. Have fun! :D

Happy early b'day!! I live about 25 min. from Tunica. We don't go as much as we did when they all opened several years ago. You can call any of the casino 1800#'s and ask for special rates and they will match and beat each others deal--They want you at their casino so call and check it out. Also, there are a lot of concerts there all the time. There is an outlet mall-its ok- for any shopping you need to do. Get on a progressive double diamond deluxe slot and win the BIG ONE!!! Don't look for anythingelse in Tunica besides the casinos though--nothing but and I mean nothing but casinos and farm land--downtown Memphis has good night life -a straight shot up 61-about 20 min. away- . Too bad the tigers aren't playing when you are here--oh yea--We will be in Knoxville on the 12th to whip up on some Vols a**- My husband always says"Nothing sucks like a Big Orange" -All in fun - have a great b'day and GO TIGERS----- Have a very fruitful day!!!

I think craps has some pretty good odds. Good luck!

I liked the idea of only 5 prime numbers per day.
