Back in the heyday of paddle wheelers on the Mississippi, showboats and gamblers cruised the river, entertaining the masses and providing games of chance for those who felt lucky. In recent years, those days have returned to the Mississippi River as riverboats and floating casinos have opened in states bordering Tennessee. You still won't find any blackjack tables in God-fearing Tennessee, but you don't have to drive very far for a bit of Vegas-style action. For entertainment, relaxation and fun there's few places in the Memphis area better than Tunica. With nine casinos, several golf courses and spas, live entertainment every night, a river park, a historical village, fifty restaurants and, lest we forget, 24 hour gambling Tunica is a place that literally has something for everyone. Its proximity to Memphis makes it an ideal base for touring the city and the surrounding area, and when traveling gets too exhausting hit one of the casinos, or get a massage, or learn the history of Tunica and it's native peoples. You can even get some musical history here, at the Bluesville/Blues and Legends Hall of Fame Museum, a combination museum and nightclub. |
