The Best Hotel Rooms in Tunica
The nine casino properties plus a handful of other hotels offer visitors to Tunica, Mississippi many accommodation options. Without seeing the rooms first-hand, it can be difficult to decide where to stay. Firstly, the casino options should be your first choice as they put you in the center of the action and are generally better rooms. Why would you want to stay at a separate property and have to drive back and forth every time you want to visit a casino or get something to eat. While they may be a bit more expensive, the casino options are head and shoulders above the other potential choices.
The Best of the Best Casino Hotel
For room quality, Harrah’s Casino is the leader of the pack. The rooms designated as being at the Casino Hotel are by far the best in the city and provide easy access to both an indoor swimming pool and exercise equipment. As Harrah’s also has two other hotels on its property, the Veranda Hotel and the Terrace Hotel, it is imperative that you make sure you are in the Casino Hotel when making a reservation. There are less of these rooms available and they go quick as gamblers in the know often book them months in advance. The Veranda and Terrace locations do offer nice rooms, but their location requires a shuttle or long walk to the actual casino. Each room in the Casino Hotel is a suite and is equipped with a whirlpool tub for relaxation. In addition, the proximity to Harrah’s great restaurants, such as ‘37 and Murano’s, makes ordering room service to these rooms the quickest in the city.
Choices in the Clusters
Although Harrah’s has the best rooms, it may not be the best choice depending on what you are looking for. The casinos of Tunica are laid out in a strange manner, with two main clusters of three casinos each, and the remaining three casinos located as stand-alone properties away from the clusters. However, any of the casinos can be reached easily by taking the free shuttle that runs on a regular basis. If you are the type of gambler that likes to bounce from casino to casino without having to wait on a shuttle, perhaps the clusters are more suited to your needs.
One cluster of casinos features the Sheraton Casino Tunica, the Horseshoe, and the Gold Strike. The other cluster is where you will find Sam’s Town, Hollywood, and Resorts Tunica. In the first cluster, the Gold Strike and the Horseshoe tie for best rooms, as they both have an individual style and allow easy access to the gaming floor. If you are planning on playing poker in Tunica, one of these properties is your best choice as they also feature the best poker rooms in town.

Being the newest property in town, rooms at Resorts are the most modern and feature sitting areas in every single room. With this location you will be close to the best buffet in Tunica at Sam’s Town, and also the interesting movie memorabilia found at Hollywood Casino.
