First, thanks to all who helped me out wtih my first questions about Tunica. The web sites and links have been most useful to me. I think I will be using
Blues City Tours for my trip into Memphis unless I decide on just treating myseld to a private sedan instead, since it is a birthday trip for me.
I am still looking into pricing on that.
Questions I have this time is concerning which casinos mostly are better then the other. I will play most of my $$ at Goldstrike since they have given me so
much already and I haven't even got there. But I do want to venture to the other casinos to check them out and whatever..... I have read some trip
reports to get some kind of idea but alot of the post were not current dating. I play roullette and some slots. Who has the best drink service. What kind of
table limits mostly $10 and up I am guessing. Are all the slot machines TITO? Best place for Late night dining and best breakfast. And I already received the
answer to the best seafood. Thanks!! I see the shuttle can take you to each casino and I have a few within walking distance. The outlet shopping is it easy to
walk to or not? Has anyone used Blues City Tours or can recommend a good Limo/Sedan service while I am there. Any other info anyone would like to share I would
be glad to hear, since first trips are just a learning experience... thanks !!

The outlet is not an easy walk from the Gold Strike. You can find $5.00 tables at all the casinos during the week. I think the only casino that is not all TITO
now is The Fitz, there may be a few machines scattered around in some of the casinos.
I think someone on here used the Bus tour recently I dont remember who. I will let them answer, seems like they were satisfied, others can try and answer your other questions.

Charles is right, the walk would be LONG to the outlet mall. I remember the first trip mom and I made to Tunica, we did not rent a car and I seem to remember
one of the shuttle companies offered a shuttle to the outlet mall for 5.00 per person. I cannot remember which company it was though, it may have been premier
of memphis.

Blues City does the $5 mall trip too.
Breakfast - Fitz has a good breakfast buffet.........they did go up from $4.95 this month to $6.95 (I think) I do know it's a couple of bucks more. Also the casual dining places have good breakfast like the Diner at Hollywood, Atrium at Gold Strike, Replays at Grand. Horseshoe buffet is an all nighter starting breakfast. |

The Horseshoe buffet is especially good and their casino has a good selection of slots. The Horseshoe, Grand and Sheraton are all owned by Harrahs and they
have a free shuttle that runs between the casinos.

We used the Blues City Tours to go to Graceland in March. The tour cost us $50 each....guess that is reasonable. That was for the bus ride and the Graceland
Tour. The trip was a little "bouncy" but we had a good driver with a great sense of humor and we enjoyed the whole trip!

What free stuff can I get and How do you get free stuff from the Gold Strike without having been there? We will be coming to Tunica from 5-22 to 5-26. We are staying at Sam's because they only charged $500 total for the 4 nights. The Gold Strike wanted $1000 plus taxes. But we will play some anyplace where my wife & I can get some free play. Thanks. Eddie |

I think the coupons in the mailout guide are buy one buffet get one free.
The Southern Gaming Magazine Coupon Club has had $20 for $10 coupons at Horseshoe and Hollywood. To get your travel guide ( no coupons in the ones you pick up at the visitor's center, it has to be mailed) go to http://www.tunicamiss.com and click on the visitor's guide. You will get coupons from the casinos when you return home after your trip too. They will want you back! Hope this helps. Jen |

you ask how did i get free stuff and I haven't even got there yet? I ONLY stay at MGM properties! I spend 95.% of my $$ each trip only in MGM
properties! I find I get more comps and what nots by sticking with one Property rather than spreading my $$ around other casinos, which doesn't get you
much in return. Sorry, but a Free Buffet is not important to me. My free stuff is mainly Air / Hotel/ Limo and since I am not spending any of my $$ on that
I have more to play with. Let's face it, air hotel and limo or any kind of transportation takes a big bite out of anyones funds. I do get my share of
free play and meals if I am in vegas or biloxi but never in the form of a coupon. It's not about how big your bank roll is >>> but how smart
you play with it. I do play "table games" mostly, my slot play is limited . I have never paid for a hotel room or a limo (ever) and if I have to
kick in anything it is about 10 - 25 % of the air when that is not free. This is my first trip to Tunica and I will have no free play or meals, or any kind
of coupons which is fine since It is not costing me anything to come check it out. I am sure when I do have to pay for my meal in Tunica it will not cost me
nearly as much as it would in Vegas considering a good buffet in vegas for breakfast runs 'bout $20 and up and dinner is twice that. I have a few days off
so I decided to try Tunica for a change. I am hoping we'll have fun and not regret not go to Vegas or Biloxi instead. I am looking forward to checking
out Memphis while am there. I am from the south and just trying to find a nice places to relax, unwind and enjoy my time off and I am hoping that Tunica can
be one of those places. I have read the forums off and on over the past year and everyone seems to be very nice, and very helpful this past month when i posted
my first questions. It's all about good food, happy people and fun times and some casino action when I have time off these days. I have paid my dues
rasing my daughter and putting up with theme parks and theme park resorts and being out voted on where to go. So it's kinda my turn now.
Oh and to answer the orginal question "how did i get so much and haven't even got there yet?" I just asked and gave them my players number ..."I am thinking I want to come there what can you do for me?" |

I hope you have a great trip to Tunica. I love Tunica, and find it fun and relaxing---gambling is relaxing to me.
Have a nice time in Memphis, too. Good Luck! Carol |

MzVegas78, we were Biloxi folks and still are, but wanted to see and do Memphis, we stayed in Tunica because it was close by. We really like Tunica. I love
the traffic, (there is none), just cotton fields and the people in the casinos treat you really nice. Anyway, back to the story
 , because we liked it as
well as we did, we do go back there a lot more than I ever thought we would. Of course a lot of that has to do with all the folks I have met on this board.
I think you will like it. I love the Gold Strike, I hate they lowered the VP tables but its a nice casino.

thanks so much Carol and Charles T Georgia, I hope I will enjoy Tunica as much as you all have. I really love going to the Beau Rivage in Biloxi been hooked
ever since my first trip many years ago, and nothing beats southern hospitality! I really like the "no traffic" I have way to much here in florida
with the tourist and the beaches. And I the information shared on this forum has been very helpful to me and everyone has been so nice. *** THANKS***
Ok so let my count down begin...T-Minus 15 days
