Re: Tunica in December-January
[ QUOTE ]
I think a lot of people who have never been to Tunica believe that such a gambling mecca that is so well known is going to have all these cabs lined-up outside to take you wherever you want to go. This is NOT the case. [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, exactly. NO CABS IN TOON TOWN. I didn't decide to hitch just for [censored] and grins. I'll just lobby again for something in the sticky - or a dedicated sticky - to Tunica. There are so many threads with so much info, but it's not endless like Vegas is. Just a few facts: how close Strike and Shoe are, whether there are cabs, where the closest movie theater is, where the closest ANYTHING is, etc. TT refuses, however.

I guess they might be a little cranky during January since they're working overtime & are dealing with the crowds. [/ QUOTE ] Yes. But I am not talking about the Gold Strike poker room people, I don't think I made that clear. I am talking about the Gold Strike people at the front desk check in and eveywhere else.

Re: Tunica in December-January
I'll be at the g.s. from jan 2-23.
It's the best place to be. I think the grand (WSOP) will be down big time this yr. due to a few reasons. 1. The structure of the tourneys during the last circuit event sucked big time. I heard they fixed the prob. But it doesn't matter cause all the players went to the gulf coast last time and played the beau rivage. Poker players don't forget that easy when it comes to good and bad places to play! 2. No TV coverage for circuit events this yr. 3. They are running the main events at the same time this yr....so if I wanted to play both it wouldn't be an option. How terrible is that???? Harrah's really dropped the ball on this one! Who was the marketing genius that said lets compete with a bigger and better structured event? 4. The GS is guaranteed a million for first place. If I can afford 5K-7.5K buyin---I'm rolled properly for 10K with a shot at 1-mil. Plus I'll get my ugly mug on tv...that way all my friends can see just how horrible I really play. 5. Harrah's didn't market well at all! The only thing keeping this event from completely drowning is because the real event is down the street and players will hit both casino's. As far as action in feb---For the last 3yrs it's been pretty much dead from the time the main event starts until a few weeks later. If you play lower stakes 4-8/1-3nl/2-5nl it's not a problem to find a game. I'd suggest looking at iowa in mid feb as a possible stop if you are gonna have the time to play. Oh---who ever said something about nawlins...make it a point to try the blackened ribeye. The best thing going. Oh the Atrium at the Strike is a pretty good break from those crappy buffets. Be sure to check these out. Hope this helps.

Gerald Steyers at the GS is a really awesome floor fella. They have some great dealers as well. They also have a few that bug me. But that's everywhere.
