Reason #7 Closer Doesn’t Mean Better – Hotels

All week, we’ve been focusing on the reasons why closer doesn’t mean better when it comes to comparing Tunica and Southland. We talked about free drinks yesterday, and today we’re talking about something that might come in handy after you enjoy that special perk—our variety of accommodation offerings. And read on for a very special promotion announcement that will reward you for ditching the dog and trading up to Tunica.

Reason #6 Closer Doesn’t Mean Better – Free Drinks

We’re telling you the top 7 reasons why closer doesn’t mean better when it comes to the experience you can find in Tunica. Yesterday, we talked about all of the activities available in Tunica. Today, we’re talking about perhaps the most significant reason of them all—free drinks.

Reason #5 Closer Doesn’t Mean Better – Activities

When you compare all that Tunica has to offer with what you can find in Southland, it’s not even close. So this week, we’re introducing you to the top 7 reasons why closer doesn’t mean better.  Yesterday, we discussed talked about the world-class entertainment you can find in Tunica. Today, we’re talking about all of the action you can find outside of the casino floor and the variety of activities Tunica offers to please everyone in your group.

Reason #4 Closer Doesn’t Mean Better – Entertainment

This week, we’re sharing our 7 favorite reasons why closer doesn’t mean better and why making a trip just down the road to Tunica is worth the drive. Yesterday, we talked about the great dining to be had in Tunica, and today, we’re telling you how to pair your dinner with a great show. If you enjoy a variety of world-class entertainment, then you definitely belong in Tunica, because we’ve got the shows and events that you want to see most.

Reason #3 Closer Doesn’t Mean Better – Dining

This week, we’re introducing you to 7 reasons why closer doesn’t mean better. We’ve talked about gaming  and comps, and today we’re talking about the key to all of our hearts—our stomachs. We hope you are hungry, because the dining options in Tunica will certainly whet your appetite.

Reason #2 Closer Doesn’t Mean Better – Comps

Yesterday, we showed you that when it comes to gaming, nowhere else in the MidSouth even comes close to the Vegas-style action you can find in Tunica. Click here for Reason #1.  Today, we’re giving you yet another reason why closer doesn’t mean better, and it’s one of our personal favorites. Today, it’s all about the comps.

Reason #1 Why Closer Doesn’t Mean Better – Gaming

In Tunica, Mississippi, we appreciate good entertainment. After all, we feature plenty of it for just about every taste. So, you probably are not surprised that we chuckled at the attempt at humor in recent commercials by a competitor across the river. Clever, but we have to ask: Why don’t they talk about any benefits, just about a shorter drive (and that depends on where you live)?

In Tunica, we also appreciate the difference between fact and fiction.

  • Fact: closer doesn’t mean better.
  • Fiction: you risk alien abduction, chainsaw-wielding maniacs and organ harvesting if you drive to Tunica.

So, in the spirit of good, clean competition, we would like to focus over the next seven days on the Lucky 7 reasons why closer doesn’t mean better. Because when you compare Tunica to Southland, it’s not even close. And be sure to read on to find out how to receive $25 in free slot play and a $5 food credit when you trade up to Tunica.

Cool Down in Tunica! Pool Parties are Here!

Summer is here!  It gets hot in Tunica, but when Harrah’s throws a Heatwave Pool Party things get even hotter!

Chrissy, Claire, and I headed to cool off at the pool party recently.  We decided if we were going, we were going big, which included renting a cabana for the day.  The cabanas have a personal refrigerator, towels, chairs and even a misting system for cooling down.  Someone was always stopping by to ask if we needed anything.  We did have a few cabana boys, but unfortunately none were shirtless!
