    I've decided to just randomly drive down to Tunica this weekend. Never been before. Was wondering what hotels are good to stay at and which are available often at short notice. Any last minute trip suggestions from you chumps that have Tunica experience?

    You can also book a poker room at the Grand for 35 a night and they are usually easier to get. If you are going to play NL, stick to the Grand, The games are much softer there than at the Horsehoe or Gold Strike. If you are looking for 20-40, go to the Horseshoe.

    35 a night for the Grand? On the site the listed price is something crazy like 189 for friday, 289 for saturday. I guess I can assume you're speaking of a poker rate which is something I've never done but still, are you positive about those prices? Also yeah I'll be playing 1-2 or 2-5 nl.

    they're correct. Gold Strike is $25. I've stayed at both many many times.

    I live in Cincinnati. If you wait until next weekend I'll make the trip with you. Been wanting to go down there. (I have exams next week.)

    PM me if interested. If not, good luck.

    You need to remeber that the Grand has 4-5 hotels on same prop so while you can get a poker room rate there u can also be like a mile from the casino Goldstrike Horeshoe and Sheraton are all in a row togehter so u get more variety [the shearton doesnt have poker] but of course the other 2 do and the shoe is same company that grand is so total rewards matter

    How much poker do you have to play to qualify for these room rates? Is it feasible to do playing 1-2 NL?
