Tunica, MS or New Orleans, LA

[People_Mover]

Going to the panhandle for family thanksgiving and will have a few days to burn, so I'm thinking of driving to either New Orleans or Tunica for a couple days. Wife will probably be in tow (we are both 26), so good restaurants/decent hotels are a must. She can hold her own at 1/2NL, I play up to 5/10NL. Which one would you go to as they are both 4 hour drive or so???

I went to New Orleans in 2000 for Mardi Gras but of course that was all pre-Katrina and pre poker and was disgusted at the "dirty" feel of the city. I've never been to Tunica.
