Discover Tunica Resorts

Tunica Resorts is in the northwestern part of the state of Mississippi and is home to six casino resorts. To plan your trip, you can compare this clearly defined casino theme with other interests: entertainment, music history, river activities and sports each offer a different focus. Consider what matters to you during your stay before looking for hotels.

Casinos and entertainment

Entertainment in Tunica, Mississippi, includes concerts, comedy shows and festivals, as well as MMA and boxing matches. This brings stage events and combat sports together; if you want to plan your trip around a particular event, check the dates in advance. The casinos in Tunica offer slot machines and have sports betting lounges. These offerings have different focuses and complement the event types mentioned above with other casino-related options.

River and nature

Tunica River Park has a riverside walkway, a boat launch and riverboat cruises. These offer different ways to experience the river: the walkway leads to the riverbank, while a boat trip puts the water itself in the spotlight. The aquarium and museum at Tunica River Park are open Tuesday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. As opening hours can change, check the hours before your visit.

The Wildlife Spotting and Photography Interactive exhibit uses a camouflaged observation blind and a nature diorama. It features lifelike depictions of animals from Tunica County. The exhibit thus focuses on regional wildlife, while other presentations cover archaeological or musical topics.

Archaeology and blues history

Mound Builders Interactive features a life-size model of an ancient Native American burial mound. It also includes pottery, weapons, bone tools and other artifacts from actual archaeological excavations. The model and the artifacts represent different parts of the presentation: the model illustrates the burial mound, while the objects show archaeological materials.

The Gateway to the Blues Museum and Visitor Center features interactive exhibits and artworks. It explores the history of the blues and presents the role of Tunica and the Delta region in the development of this musical genre. A Mississippi Blues Trail marker is also located at the Gateway to the Blues Visitors Center in Tunica, on U.S. Highway 61. Together, these topics highlight the history of the music and its regional context.

Tennis and golf

Tunica National has a covered, air-conditioned tennis facility that is open year-round and features Hydro-Grid HAR-TRU clay courts. Tunica National was designed by PGA Tour player Mark McCumber. River Bend Links is a Scottish links course in the region. These details highlight different aspects of the sports: the tennis facility is described by its surface, cover and year-round operation, while River Bend Links is classified as a links course. These distinctions can help you sort the sports options described according to what matters for your trip planning.
