Tunica Talk

No you don’t, but I think this question needs a very long explanation. Tunica is unlike any gaming destination with more than one casino you may have visited in the past. The distance between some of the casinos is a 15-25 minute drive in a car, and in between these casinos there is nothing but cotton fields. There are two main clusters of casinos. One cluster is what is known as Casino Center. That cluster contains The Horseshoe, The Sheraton and The Gold Strike. All three casinos in this cluster are within very easy walking distance of each other. You literally walk out the door of one casino and then into another. The second cluster contains The Resorts, Hollywood and Sam’s Town. Within that cluster The Resorts and Hollywood are within easy walking distance of each other via a canopy covered walkway, but Sam’s Town is a much longer walk across the street. The walk is made more difficult by the lack of sidewalks and a crosswalk. There is also a fence that borders the Sam’s Town RV Park that you have to walk around. It is still a manageable walk as long as your health and weather conditions permit. Keep in mind in the summer Mississippi is very humid so you don’t necessarily want to be taking a long walk during this time of year, or you will arrive at your destination drenched in sweat. If you aren’t going to have your own transportation in Tunica, I highly recommend staying at one of these six properties to maximize your enjoyment. If you stay at the Grand, Bally’s or Fitzgerald’s, and you don’t have your own transportation your only option is to use the Shuttle Service to get to the other properties.

Shuttle Service
There is a shuttle service that runs between all nine Tunica Casinos. This shuttle service costs $1 per-person for each trip you take. So a two way trip for a couple would be $4. The shuttles run regular schedules so if you are at the Hollywood, and want to go to the Grand keep in mind that depending on what part of that particular shuttle’s route you are on you could be stopping at every other hotel along the way dropping off and picking up other passengers. I find that the security people at the various casinos are very helpful in pointing out where their casino’s shuttle stop is. Here is a printable shuttle schedule. The only thing you need to keep in mind is that these shuttles quit running fairly early on the weekdays (11:00 PM). So if you stay at one of the hotels that are not next to anything else all of your late night gambling will have to be done at that hotel. Caesars runs a free shuttle to and from Harrah’s (formally known as the Grand) to their two properties located in casino center (the Sheraton and the Horseshoe). There is no cab service in the Tunica area. So if you miss the last shuttle pickup you’re stranded.
