Holiday Weekends in Tunica

This is really the best time to go.

The poker rooms are full of players, but not overpacked with long waiting lines. Several games at several limits are available. The other players are a "touristy mix" from a 400 mile radius. Games are much easier than in January when all the good poker players from everywhere are in town.

Labor Day Weekend Update:

Gold Strike had 3-6, 4-8, and a sporadic 6-12 and 10-20. NL was 1-2. Omaha/8 was 3-6 with a full kill.

Horseshoe had 4-8, 10-20, and 20-40. NL was 2-5 and usually 5-10. Even 7 stud 1-5 went everyday.

Both poker rooms had daily tourneys, sometimes more than one.

Grand, Sams, and Hollywood poker rooms are still open; but I never left "campus".

Gold Strike hotel rooms are still 25 - 35 on weekends. Meal comps are still plentiful - Shoe is even comping the Friday seafood buffet again.

I'm ready to go back. Is it January yet?
