A few days off from work and destination: Tunica

[RedKnightt]

So I have a few days off from work at the beginning of November, and I've decided to head to Tunica. I've already booked a room at the Horseshoe (the Grand, actually) at the poker rate, thanks to a nice lady named Lisa. I plan, as I have told my friends and coworkers, "to play an excessive amount of poker".

I choose Tunica because:

A: I really didn't want to fly to Vegas
B: I go to AC every couple of weeks already
C: I moved from Arizona to DC a couple of years back, stopping at various casinos, and my car "wandered" into Tunica for about 36 hours and I really liked the atmosphere, especially at the Horseshoe.
D: The drive through Virginia and Tennessee in October/November is gorgeous.

Now, while an excessive amount of 1/2NL, 2/5 NL and some 4/8 or higher LHE is certainly called for (I'm using the trip to build up some more table time), I'm curious if there are any other activities I should look at in the area. I realize Memphis is less than an hour away, and may do a day or evening there, just to keep a small semblance of sanity.

I know there are several Tunica regulars and casino employees on here, and any advice, invitations to dinner, or introductions to attractive sisters would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
