Tunica is the third largest gaming destination. If you are planning a trip to the
Tunica area, this is the site to visit. Tunica is a pleasant 20 mile drive south of Memphis, TN. The Mississippi River flows
along the county's western boundary, and the landscape is dominated by rich Delta farmland with an occasional wooded bluff.
Today, Tunica County is the third largest gaming market in the nation with 9 world-class casinos featuring 24-hour gaming
plus all the amenities of modern full-service vacation resorts. And since casino gaming was only legalized in Mississippi
since 1990, all of the facilities are quite new, luxurious, and beautifully well-kept.
Tunica has two areas where multiple
casinos are clustered within walking distance of each other: Casino Center is home to the Gold Strike Casino, Horseshoe, and
Sheraton Tunica; while at the Casino Strip you will find Harrah's, Hollywood, Sam's Town, and Grand Casino Tunica,
Fitzgerald's, and Bally's are each located a short drive from the main clusters.
