My wife and I have visited Las Vegas several times and stayed at many casino hotels there, finally settling on the Orleans as our favorite. This was our first trip to Tunica. The room at the Horseshoe was excellent--very similar to the Orleans--but it was twice the price! (The flat panel TV was a pleasant surprise.)
I play poker, and since the Horseshoe's poker room did not feel real friendly, I played at Sam's Town (my favorite poker room, with excellent comps) and Gold Strike. My wife had more luck with the slots at the Sheraton (next door to Horseshoe), so she played there and at Sam's Town.
We loved Tunica and will return there instead of Vegas, but we'll try a less-expensive hotel.
