Here is a listing of our New Year’s Eve events. Keep checking back. We will be updating the list as more events become available – (more…)
While several of you are downloading store maps and planning out your routes through crowds of anxious Black Friday holiday shoppers, it’s great to keep in mind that Downtown Tunica offers a variety of specialty shops and one-of-a-kind gifts for everyone including the hottest fashions of the season – no escape route needed! Forget the lines and holiday chaos. Shopping in Downtown Tunica is about as peaceful as it gets. (more…)
The Holidays are upon us and to me that means eating, and lots of it. I love cooking during the Holidays and here are a couple of my favorite recipes.
The holidays are fast approaching, and you know what means – holiday parties. And there’s no better place to host your holiday gathering than in Tunica! Whether you are thinking an intimate dinner party or a blowout bash, Tunica has a variety of venues that can be transformed into your perfect winter wonderland. (more…)
When someone mentions the Delta, what comes to mind? Probably The Blues, the Mississippi River, agriculture, casinos, and, of course, cotton! If you’ve visited Tunica, you can see that we rose from acres of farm land to become the great gaming destination we are today. You may have glanced at the fields of cotton on your way to one of our nine casinos and maybe even stopped to grab a little. Being that we’re not originally from the Delta area, Lisa and I wanted to learn more about cotton and experience a cotton picker for ourselves.
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR ENTERING OUR TRICK OR TREAT COSTUME CONTEST. THE WINNERS ARE:
Shirley Ross Carlisle ~ Shearon Roberts ~ Keith Sanders, Sr.
Fall is upon us in the Delta. Temperatures are beginning to drop and leaves are starting to turn, and there’s no better way to mark the season than with the Delta Day Festival in Downtown Tunica’s Rivergate Park on October 29.
The fun begins at 9 a.m. and doesn’t stop until 5 p.m. for this one-day festival celebrating the heritage and history of The Delta. Free and open to the public, Delta Day offers something for everyone in the family.
The 2011 Smoking Aces Festival & BBQ Championship is taking place this weekend, September 16-17, hosted by Harrah’s Casino. The festival, which we talked about before and which benefits Porter-Leath, is billed as a celebration of some of the most important things in any man’s life: meats, motors, matches, music, malts and margaritas. Taken individually, any of those elements would make for a good weekend, but combine them and you are talking about one heck of a party. The Smoking Aces Festival will be a good time benefitting a good cause, but it’s not a fall weekend without a little healthy competition. We aren’t talking football here, we’re talking cornhole – the “matches” on the list of important m-words showcased by this event.

August – the dog days of summer, it’s hot, dry, humid – hotter, dryer and just down right sticky here in the Mississippi Delta. To top it off, summer is over and if you have children, it’s back to school time. But August brings promise, the promise of the first weekend in September.
Yes, on the first weekend of September each year, it’s the time most wives love to hate – SEC Football and the opening day of dove season. And, that’s just the start, leading strait into a full season of the NFL complete with days of your significant other out communing with nature as it can only be found on a deer stand or in a duck blind!
The Smokin Aces’ Festival & BBQ Championship on September 16 -17, 2011 at Harrah’s Casino Tunica is a medley of fun, including:
Whether you like to eat, drink, dance or play, there’s something for everyone! Continue reading for more details on all the upcoming fun…
