Tunica in December-January

[KashHunt]

I plan on staying in Tunica for the tournaments in January. I'm considering arriving there a few weeks early just to ease myself into the scene since I've never been there. All I'll be doing is play poker and I would like to ask...

1) what kinda action can i expect at the main casinos? (game selection, demographics of players, or anything else relevant)

2) should i choose horseshoe or gold strike? i wanna see friendly staff that won't give me headache getting comps. also, since i'll be spending a long time in the hotel, i'd like to take amenities and other factors into consideration.

Thanks in advance
