Best place to play and stay in Tunica

[flopthequads]

Hello all,
I am headed to Tunica for Thanksgiving weekend and wanted to get some advice from people on where to stay and where to play. This will be my first trip down there so need some advice.

I play lots of 2/5 NL and enjoy 15/30 or 20/40 limit. I have heard the 20/40 at the Grand is just crazy.

So where is the best place to stay, play and eat?

Thanks in advance!

[/ QUOTE ]Ditto. 2 best poker rooms in Tunica and they are, literally, next door to each other. From the exit of the Gold Strike to the entrance of the Shoe is less than 50 yards. Far and away the 2 best casinos in Tunica.

The Grand is nice unless you get stuck in the off site hotel and have to catch the shuttle to the Grand.

FTW = Wheel of Fortune , or "Fortune the Wheel" as the term was coined. This is a casino game that offers the player the greatest odds over the house, and Horseshoe and Gold Strike both have very favorable rules for this game. Seek it out if they have it running.

[/ QUOTE ] You won't find 20-40 at the Grand at all. The largest game you'll find there is 4-8. All the red chip action in Tunica is at Horseshoe. 15-30 goes Monday-Thursday and 20-40 goes all weekend. The Gold Strike spreads a real good 1-2 NL with no cap. Horseshoe spreads 1-3 NL. ($100-$300) The 2-5 game is uncapped with a $200 minimum. Most people these days are staying at Gold Strike because of the hotel and doing most of their playing at Horseshoe. The poker rate at Horseshoe is $30 and $40 but the room is actually at the Veranda Hotel at the Grand. If you have anymore questions post here or send me a PM. I work at Horseshoe so be sure to look me up when you get in town.
