I’m pleased to report that the Tunica destination is alive, well and OPEN for business! Everyone is aware that we lived through a very difficult month of May due to the rising floodwaters of the Mighty Mississippi. Due to the great exposure of this event by both local and national news sources, we thought we would update you on the true story of the great flood of 2011. (more…)
The Tunica Convention & Visitors Bureau (TCVB) has always strived to be on the cutting edge of the tourism industry. With the uprising of social media in the past five years, the TCVB has become an industry leader in the use of this marketing tool. (more…)
Tunica Convention & Visitors BureauSince 1997, the Tunica Convention & Visitors Bureau (TCVB) has had the primary goal of promoting and bringing visitors to the destination. As the years have accrued, the branding may have changed and the product may have expanded, but the one thing that has stayed consistent and worked well is the TCVB’s ability to work cooperatively with the casino industry.
The TCVB originally determined key markets and knew that to be successful in marketing the destination they had to extend reach and maximize dollars. A cooperative program was developed for the casinos to buy-into. Over the past 18 months, the CVB has leveraged their marketing dollars of $900,000 with industry partner dollars of $600,000 for a combined total of $1.5 million in the following campaigns:

I am sure you all have seen the news of the rising Mississippi River and it’s affect on Tunica and the Casino Industry. While these have been a difficult couple of weeks, there are a lot of things still happening in the area.
The staggered casino property plan implemented by the Tunica casino industry, in conjunction with Emergency Management officials and the Mississippi Gaming Commission, was completed this morning with the scheduled closing of the three casino properties located at Casino Center (Gold Strike Casino Resort, Horseshoe Casino & Hotel and Tunica Roadhouse Casino & Hotel).
The plan, put into effect on Wednesday, April 27, was designed to allow all gaming industry employees and Tunica county visitors to safely leave the unprotected side of the Mississippi River levee system well in advance of the rising water. The Mississippi Gaming Commission and gaming executives have successfully completed the extensive closure procedures that include the protection of gaming equipment and the removal of all money from each facility.
Officials from the Mississippi Department of Wildlife and Fish and the Department of Homeland Security have arrived in Tunica County to assist local law enforcement in patrolling all access points to the county’s nine casino properties. Beginning today at 2:00 p.m., only those essential gaming industry personnel along with emergency management officials will be allowed to cross the Mississippi River levee.
Please note that the Veranda and Terrace Hotels at Harrah’s property on the east side of the levee, the Harrah’s Convention Center, the Bellissimo Spa at Harrah’s, Cottonwoods Golf Course, Tunica National Golf & Tennis, and Casino Factory Shoppes are all OPEN and will remain OPEN for business as usual.
As always, the safety of Tunica’s visitors and employees is our primary concern, and we will continue to update you via this site as conditions change or new information becomes available.
The signs of spring were abundant this past weekend in Tunica. The weather was gorgeous! While walking the dog, I came across blooming irises and tulips, a baby turtle and a cardinal. All these things reminded me that it’s the time for renewal and probably a little spring-cleaning. Typically, I associate spring-cleaning with dusting the blinds, washing the windows and rearranging the furniture, but this year, I’m all about working on cleaning out my closets. (more…)
