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!

Don B’s Steakhouse is a Bazaar of Deliciousness

A friend of mine called last night to ask if I wanted to go to dinner. My first response was no, considering the impending weather. After a few minutes of convincing (her telling me she won a bunch of money at the casino and it was burning a hole in her pocket), I gave in and headed to Fitz Casino Tunica to eat at Don B’s steakhouse.

Travel Tunica Struck Gold at Chicago Steakhouse

While in Tunica, you won’t be lacking for a great dining experience as Lisa & I found out at Gold Strike’s Chicago Steakhouse!  I’m not always a regular patron of our local steakhouses because I most often think that they’re for special occasions, when I am looking to gorge myself on a juicy steak with some great wine.  But sometimes in the middle of the week or when you’re looking to sit at gaming table for a few hours, you want a meal that’s not too heavy.

I once took a phone call from a reader who had a complaint:
