Gaming Destination In The Heart Of Dixie
The #1 gaming destination is Las Vegas and #2 is Atlantic City, but did you know that the nation's third most popular gaming destination is in the heart of Dixie? It is Tunica County in the northwest corner of the state of Mississippi. Nine riverfront casino resorts are nestled near the cotton fields in the fertile Mississippi River Delta where the weather is mild and pleasant year round. The resorts are spread out with plenty of space in between. RVers particularly enjoy the slow-paced and relaxed environment in Tunica...it is Vegas gaming, Mississippi-style.
Tunica casinos include:
-- The largest in Tunica: Grand Casino, on old Hwy 61.
-- Casino Strip Blvd. Area: Sams Town, Hollywood, Resorts and Fitzgerald's.
-- Casino Center Area: Gold Strike, Horseshoe, Sheraton and Ballys.
A variety of dining options can be found at all the resorts. Country and western stars are among the headline entertainment featured at most of the resorts throughout the year. This past weekend fans made the trip into Tunica to catch the Oak Ridge Boys show.
The Tunica County resorts are all in the town of Robinsonville, MS, just west of Interstate 55 about 20 miles south of Memphis, TN.

This is a wonderful area. We spent March in Tunica County. Weather was warm and Spring like. We will be back next year.Casinos are very generous.Free meals every day. Cash giveaways, and free camping after a few visits to casino floor.

We have been to Tunica and it is a great place to RV. We stayed at Sam' Town for less than $10 a day but that included everything, sewer, water, electric, phone and concrete level pads. Hollywood just across the street is set up the same. You can stay up to 2 weeks then you have to move out for a bit. This has been a couple years ago so things may have changed but I'm sure they are still a great deal.
