Pet Friendly Hotels In Tunica, Mississippi

Want to come visit us here in Tunica but don’t want to leave your four legged friends at home? Here is a list of our pet friendly hotels in the area.

Escape The Everyday at a Bed & Breakfast in Tunica

Imagine waking up to the aroma of berry stuffed french toast, grandmother’s recipe banana and pecan waffles, or avocado and bacon omelets with homemade biscuits and cheese grits.  I’d say that would be a good start to a much needed relaxing and pampered getaway.
You may have come to Tunica several times and stayed in a casino or non-casino hotel room, but did you know Tunica has a Bed & Breakfast? 

New Place For Relaxation In Tunica

Lights. Camera. Relaxation. Spa Around The Corner recently opened at Hollywood Casino, and if you are in need of some relaxation this is the place to go. The spa has not been open long, but it already has people talking about how good they feel after a treatment. 

Girlfriend Getaway in Tunica

Do you ever get the song “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” stuck in your head and think about grabbing your girlfriends and heading out for some girl time? When I get that feeling the first place that comes to mind is Tunica. Of course we all know that Tunica is know for gaming and has 9 world class casinos to keep you entertained, but it’s also a great place for a weekend getaway with friends.

Meal Comps vs. Charging to Your Room

In more than two decades of staying at casino resorts, one of my favorite methods for getting all I can out of available comps has been to charge meals to my room, and then see if I can get them comped at the end of my stay. That enables me to use comps earned later to take care of mealtimes from the beginning of the stay, when I don’t yet have anything in the comp bank.

Casino Spotlight: Gold Strike Gets a Gold Medal in Hotel Stay

One of my favorite things on a trip is the hotel room, so I’m always disappointed if the hotel is underwhelming or looks like it was decorated before I graduated kindergarten. But Gold Strike doesn’t just supply the type of rooms you want to just sleep in and leave. One look at a Gold Strike room, and you’ll see why Gold Strike has been voted as having the best hotel rooms in Tunica three years in a row.

Tunica is Open for Business!

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.

Tunica River Watch – Casinos Begin Reopening

Tunica is open!  We may not be at 100% yet, but then again who is after Ol’ Man River punches you in the gut!  The Mighty Mississippi tried it’s best to keep us down, but didn’t bet on the resilience of a great state like Mississippi.

We are happy to announce that all three casino properties at Casino Center Blvd. will be open for business this week!  Day and times of reopenings are:

Culinary Getaway in Greenwood, MS

Although I have been living here in the Mississippi Delta for several years now, I am still amazed with how much there is to see and experience here. I recently had the opportunity to spend a weekend in Greenwood, MS and let me tell you, if you want a romantic weekend or a girls getaway, this is the place (besides Tunica, or course).

Tunica Needs Your Help!

Last November, I had the opportunity to attend the first ever Social Media Tourism Symposium in Loudon, VA. The symposium brought together tourism destinations from all over the country to talk about how we use Social Media. SoMeT is searching for a new 2011 host city. We would love for Tunica to be that next city for this groundbreaking symposium.

Sin City of the Mississippi Delta

Vegas may be called Sin City, but Tunica’s got 7 sins that will make you ask for forgiveness . . . Down The Road!

Greed

So, maybe this sin is a give-in for Tunica.  If you’re coming to play slots, throw craps or hit 21, you’re looking to strike it rich here.  Is that really so bad?  We could all use a little extra green in our pockets!

Pet-Friendly Options in Tunica

Sometimes one of the greatest challenges when traveling is finding suitable accommodations for your travel companion. I’m not talking about your picky significant other. I’m talking about your pet! Pets are a huge part of many of our lives but finding a pet-friendly hotel while traveling can be somewhat difficult. Fortunately for Tunica-bound travelers, there are several pet-friendly options.

Resort Area Hotels Are Good Options in Tunica

You might get a free or discounted room mailed to you from your favorite casino monthly.  Or you may just have driven past the resort area (non-casino) hotels and not known enough about them to ask for rates and a tour.

Recently, several of us at the Tunica Convention & Visitors Bureau were invited to take tours of many resort area hotel rooms.  Whether you’ll be staying here because casino rooms are sold out, or you are looking to save money, I found the non-casino hotel rooms were very comparable to casino hotel rooms in Tunica.  Here’s a sneak peak of what you’d find.
