Yes, definitely book your rooms as soon as you can.

It's too late to get a room unless you're juiced in. Rooms are $49 a day at the Shoe. I have one, but don't know if I'll use it yet.

You can try the Gold Strike or the Grand, but I doubt if you can get it.

If all else fails try Sam's Town.

Re: TUNICA - only 1 month away
 

How are the Tunica casinos around christmas? I believe I will be down there for a day or two around this time.

Does it kill or increase the action? Or is there no real change?

It's usually a little slow around the holidays but you can still find a game. January comes in with a bang though.

Re: TUNICA - only 1 month away
 

just booked a room at sam's town for the first weekend (4th-6th) and at the horseshoe from the 7th-12th. horseshoe was real expensive on the weekend and gold strike was sold out. I didn't try any cleverness like checking a bunch of different internet agents, though, so maybe you can get in at Gold Strike somehow. I just went through the casino's websites themselves.

Re: TUNICA - only 1 month away
 

if you are renting a car or driving in there are a cluster of motels just over the Tennessee boarder in south heaven. Motel 6 etc... might be cheaper, they are right on I-55 2 exits north of Tunica. (take I-55 to the new I-69 which exits right in front of the Grand. in case Sams, Hollywood and Resorts are booked. There is also the Isle of Debris (Capri) about 45 Minutes south of Tunica.

There are several independent hotels that usually have rooms available within a couple of miles from any of the casinos. They're on the Casino Strip & Casino Center Blvds. You'll pass them as you drive in.

BTW...it's Southaven, not South heaven. And its in Mississippi, not Tennessee.

Re: TUNICA - only 1 month away
 

I know southaven is in Mississippi, Which is just over the Tennessee boarder going south to Tunica from the Airport on I55. Sorry for the confusion.

Re: TUNICA - only 1 month away
 

confusion is how you spell "border"

Those Motels on the outlying areas really see you coming. You might see one car in the parking lot and they'll rob you for $95 a night.

It really is hard to get a (good) room in that town. There is a lot of politics involved. I had to juice everybody when I was there just to get and keep my room.
