Oklahoma is the way to go, Tunica or KC are going to be 4-6 hours, Oklahoma casinos in about 2, when I was there last time ( years ago ) they were only 2 tables going, but I've heard it is better now

What? It's like 3 hours *minimum* to the OK border from Little Rock, and that's with no traffic. Add an extra 1.5 hours from Hot Springs unless they've finished all that construction between HS and LR.

Shreveport or Tunica has got to be a faster trip.

Hmm, I'm a little off. According to Google:

HS to Tunica: 3:51
HS to Shreveport: 3:19
HS to Sallisaw: 3:24

Google sends you over the backroads instead of sticking to the interstate, which I guess makes sense, but I'm not familiar with those roads in western Arkansas so I don't know how much variance there is. I know from driving backroads in southeast AR, you can have huge variances in time (e.g. driving through during cotton pickin season, you can get stopped on the highway while the 18 wheelers hauling cotton modules get stuck in the mud blocking the entire road, etc).
