Here, Tunica Convention & Visitors Bureau and Gateway to the Blues Museum and Visitors Center take a closer look at things to do in Tunica that couples will love.
Save the Date and Book Your Stay
Before packing up to go, book a reservation at one of the luxury Tunica resorts and casinos. While you might be busy creating unforgettable memories during the day, you’ll need a relaxing spot to unwind afterward. Recharge at a place like Hollywood Casino & Hotel Tunica in a luxury suite with enticing amenities, or check into Sam’s Town Hotel and Gambling Hall, Tunica where you can stay close to the action.
If you prefer a room with a view, opt for a spot like Fitz Tunica Casino & Hotel that overlooks the Mississippi River. Treat your taste buds to the in-house dining options that range from casual cuisine to more elegant eats.
If quaint, quiet quarters are more your style, peruse lodging options that are just enough out of the way that you can experience all the area has to offer but still enjoy some solitude. Pack up and make a road trip out of your journey, making a local RV park your home away from home, or check out non-casino hotels that can make your stay more personal. With scenic views and plenty of room to relax in the peace and quiet, you and your partner can truly disconnect from your busy schedules and unwind.
Plan Your Itinerary
From sampling local cuisine to antiquing to a day at the spa, there are plenty of romantic things to do in Tunica. The downtown area is close to the casinos, where much of the entertainment lives, and offers historical charm with plenty of boutiques, antique shops, and seasonal festivals.

You can also set your romantic getaway apart with our local musical attractions.
