Default Re: Myriad Casino approved in Tunica

I saw a news-story about such a development being possible quite awhile ago.
glad it's moving forward.

Tunica needs SOMETHING more besides the casinos.
In Las Vegas yhou have SO MUCH other stuff to do if gambling isn't your thing.

The water-park and snow-park and stuff like that to make it more kid and family-friendly is what the area desperately needs.

My GF is amazed that they just have all these casinos there and nobody is trying to do ANYTHING else down there to take advantage of the people that come.
She's coming from the non-gambler mind-set of "what the hell is there to do there if I don't want to gamble for longer than 30 minutes?" The answer is that there is VERY LITTLE there in the way of family-entertainment, a night-club or something of that variety, etc etc.


I think there's a lot more potential down there IF someone wants to try to take advantage of it.
You have an area that already draws a ton of people from all over the area. Now just give them an alternative, ANY alternative, to all the gambling for maybe one of their days in town and many people will be interested. And some might even extend their stay.
