Does Tunica have card rooms?

volhound · May 5, 2005

My dad and I are taking his RV to Memphis in May for the BBQ contest but wanted to park in Tunica and gamble. Any locals that have ideas on where we could park or any info on shuttles from Tunica to downtown Memphis.

Also, are there any satellite games for the WSOP?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Only thing I can answer is they do have poker rooms. Horseshoe, Grand, and Gold Strike are my favorites. Boomtown and Hollywood also have rooms.

The transportation situation between Memphis and Tunica is not that great. Their might be some type of shuttle, but it isn't a normal thing. Best idea might be to stay in Tunica and rent a car to get into Memphis (is a easy 15 to 20 minute drive to Beale street).

Thanks lakerfan

Anyone know about WSOP satellite games or been to Memphis in May?

I don't know about now, but before the WPT craze started Tunica was known for having the best action anywhere outside of California. I played there once in a super live $20/40 Omaha game. I would say 5 players had no clue how to play Omaha. People told me that was typical for the mid-limit Omaha as well. Also was known to some for having high rollers come in and wanting to play for major stakes, sort of like the Beal character who challenged all the pros to one-on-one games.
