Some people would go as far as saying that Pappy Van Winkle is like the unicorns of bourbons. With it’s smooth aged to perfection taste and only 7-8,000 bottles released each year you would probably agree. You will find Pappy on many fine restaurants and bars drink menus, but most likely it’s followed by when available and most of the time its not.
Do you enjoy a nice glass of wine or to sip on some fine whiskey? If so you will want to stop by TEN10 Wine and Whiskey bar at GoldStrike Casino Tunica.
Goodbye 2014. Hello 2015!
This year is quickly coming to an end, and I don’t know about you, but I am ready to celebrate. Tunica is the place to be this New Year’s Eve. We have everything from live music, car giveaways, slot tournaments and fine dining. Here is a complete list of the New Year’s Eve activities. We are sure that there is something for everyone.
Looking for a family friendly activity? Head on down to Sam’s Town Tunica for the 14th Annual Delta River Cruisin’ Car Show hosted by the Memphis Street Rods. This annual show is one of the largest gatherings in the Mid-South of classically restored vehicles, hot rods and street rods.
Just when you thought the Delta Country Jam couldn’t get any hotter, they go and add even more Country Music stars to the line up. The Delta Country Jam Music Festival is October 4-5, 2013. I promise, you don’t want to miss the hottest music festival of the year.
The fun starts on Friday night when Billy Currington, Thompson Square, Jerrod Nieman, Josh Thompson and Steel Magnolia take the stage. On Saturday night things get turned up a notch with Brantly Gilbert, Kellie Pickler, Blackberry Smoke, Maggie Rose, Bush Hawg, Drake White, Michael Ray, Randy Houser and Tim McGraw with more artists still to come.
The festival will be held on the Abbay & Leatherman Plantation behind Hollywood Casino & Hotel. Tickets are on sale now at Ticketmaster. Single day passes start at $80 and 2 day passes are $125. VIP packages are available starting at $280. For more information about VIP packages visit DeltaCountryJam.com.
You don’t have to be in Mexico to celebrate Cinco de Mayo this year. Some of our casinos are getting into the action and are serving up everything from free beer, yes I said free beer, live entertainment, party favors and special tournaments.
Mark you’re calendars for Saturday, April 13 from 12noon-6pm for the Crawfish and Corvettes Festival at Fitz casino Tunica.
There will be crawfish, hot dogs, hamburgers, and nachos to munch on while browsing corvettes, new and old. Face painters and balloon artists will be on hand for the kids along with arts, crafts & apparel vendors for the adults.
The Fitz Casino goes all out each year for St. Patrick’s Day. And who better to hold Tunica’s biggest St. Patrick’s Day party than the casino that celebrates the luck of the Irish all year long?

Fall is synonymous with back-to-school, so it’s only fitting that as we approach fall that we feature Tunica Roadhouse, a casino that offers the kind of fun that takes me back to my college days: beer pong, pool, darts, poker and mechanical bull riding (you have to see Whiskey the Bull in action).
Sometimes it can drive a person crazy when a holiday falls in the middle of the week, but not this time. This 4th of July lands on a Wednesday giving you something to do all week in Tunica. Plus, if you’re like me you can use vacation to make it an extra long weekend before or after! That’s a Jackpot in my books! Here’s a list of the week’s activities:

The Mississippi River is receding and the Tunica casinos are rolling out the red carpet for their reopening. All 9 Tunica casinos will be open in time for the Memorial Day weekend and some of them are planning reopening celebrations that you don’t want to miss.
Matt Jordan a regular contributor to this blog proclaimed earlier this week that he knows spring is here each year with the start of March Madness. For me, Spring has not officially Sprung in Tunica until what I affectionately call “Crawfish” week or officially know as the annual Tunica Downtown Event – called the Rivergate Festival.
Celebrate the Luck of the Irish in Tunica on St. Patrick’s Day!
Bragging rights are up for grabs this weekend as Tunica Main Street hosts the 9th annual Wild Game Cook-off. Think of it as the Memphis in May of wild game.
With so much happening in Tunica, we always seem to lose the key to the TunicaMS Comp Closet, and we need your help finding it! Find the key somewhere on the TunicaTravel.com website, and then unlock your chance to win comps like buffets, fine dining dollars, hotel stays, concert tickets, casino free play, etc.!
We thought we cleaned out the Tunica Comp Closet to get ready for the New Year, but we didn’t do enough cleaning! We are doing early spring cleaning all month and giving YOU comps!
Do you need a reason to get away? How about a $19.99 room rate at a casino hotel? Would you like a comped buffet? Do you know how to get a discount code at a non-casino hotel to save you 50%? Would you like to know the featured promotions at every casino in Tunica in one place? We’d like all of the above, too! That’s why we created a new Promotions Page on TunicaTravel.com.
One of the most frequent questions we hear when people call our office is, “Do you know of any current discounts or specials in Tunica?” Of course, another one is, “Can you give us some coupons for our upcoming trip to Tunica?”
Now there’s good news for both questions! Our new Promotions and Specials Page has both, plus MUCH more, and as a Tunica Insider, you are the first to see the page that has it all!
