Angie, my longtime friend, and I were celebrating our recent retirement with a Creedence Clearwater Revisited concert at Gold Strike—one of the eight casinos in Tunica, Mississippi. We may be a pair of little old ladies in training, but we know how to have fun. Starting with the drive.
Surprise and delight is the standard at the recently opened Spa at Horseshoe and there is no doubt that you will experience both when you visit. The spa is the perfect way to unwind from the stresses of everyday life.
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.
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.
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.
Northeasterners, Midwesterners, Northwesterners and those of you spread out across other unreasonably wintery regions: it’s time to make your annual migratory escape to warmth. Take off your snowshoes and come down South to Tunica and enjoy our gaming, restaurants and entertainment. You may think our accents are a little funny, but our warm hospitality will make you forget all your snow shoveling responsibilities.
How many of you feel stretched thin? Between school and work commitments, family obligations and seemingly never-ending lists of chores waiting to be done, it can be hard to find time in the day to sleep, much less to spend quality time with our significant others. Luckily, relaxation is just down the road, because Tunica offers a variety of different ways to help you and your loved one recharge and reconnect.
Aside from its outlaw attitude, Roadhouse’s hotel has one amenity that makes its hotel stand out from all the others.
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.
This month, let’s explore what’s going on at Gold Strike. The resort includes a 50,000-square-foot casino, award-winning restaurants, the Millennium Theatre (which has featured performers such as Randy Travis and the Beach Boys), the Golden Reflections Spa and a convention center. I can’t wait to tell you about Gold Strike’s gaming, hotel and dining options as we move through the month. Fun fact: At 32 stories, it is known as one of the tallest buildings in Mississippi.
Every time I visit Tunica, I try to slip in something new to my schedule. Sometimes it’s a new game, a new night spot or a unique event. The variety of recreation options available at Harrah’s Tunica makes it easy to try something new. Harrah’s has has casino resort staples, but there is always something new to experience, which keeps things fresh and interesting.
Father’s Day is fast approaching. We know that a typical gift for dad might involve a tie, hunting equipment or a round of golf, but we think Dad is looking for some relaxing time away just like Mom, so we’ve got just the thing and it doesn’t involve the remote control & a beer!
The Bellissimo Spa at Harrah’s Casino Tunica is the perfect way to unwind from the stresses of everyday life. Once you walk through the spa doors, you will soon forget the kids crying, husband complaining and your boss yelling at you to have your reports done.
Chrissy and I decided that we needed a break and booked a day at the spa. We both scheduled appointments for a Pure Fiji Body Experience and a Hot Stone Massage.

Ahh…Father’s Day! One of the best day’s of any man’s life is the day he becomes a Father! It’s only then that he can truly begin to understand the years of conversations, scoldings, disappointing looks, praise and pride that his own father has shown him over the years. Being a Father is a tricky thing 364 days a year. It’s Daddy this, Daddy that, Why Daddy, Can I Daddy, Money Daddy, Daddy Please and then, the one day that a Father can call his own, that 365th day – Father’s Day.

Girls are not the only ones who get a little anxious when warmer temperatures and more hours of sunlight suddenly surface from what seems like endless days of cold, snow and rain. It evidentially means showing more skin and working hard to get the body ready for this showing.
