Casino RV’ing in Tunica, Ms

We arrived at the Hollywood Casino parking lot in Tunica, Mississippi late Monday night.  We put out our slides and called an end to a long drive.  On Tuesday morning we registered in the RV park and set up for the next three nights.  

Tuesday was ‘Senior’s Day’ at the neighbouring “Sam’s Town Casino” – so off we headed to get our free slot money and our senior’s buffet discount coupons. There were also hourly draws, so Jane made sure we were entered. The food at Sam’s Town is usually good – and the evening buffet did not disappoint. Heck for $5.00 each (including free beer ) – what a deal. The slots were ok – Paul walked out $10 richer and Jane was still looking to win.

 

Wednesday is Senior’s Day at the “Fitz Casino”. But before we headed over, we spent a morning around the trailer. Paul got out the hose and washed the front of the trailer and the truck. We certainly did a number on the butterfly population and all those yellow splats really didn’t look good on the black truck!! After lunch we headed over to the Casino Outlet Mall – very small by comparison to San Marcos, TX – but nonetheless Jane is not one to pass up on the chance to find a deal. We didn’t spend much time shopping and then we headed over to the Fitz Casino.

Slots were not so good, but Jane won a free buffet – Paul won a free night at the hotel (not much use to RV’ers). The evening buffet was ok – and this one only cost us $5.60 for both after the free coupon and the senior rate. After dinner we headed over to the Bally’s Casino – just to stretch our legs in a new setting.

On Thursday we drove part of the way into Memphis to buy groceries for the rest of the trip back to Ontario and also to pay our Kohl's bill.  We stopped for lunch at the Memphis BBQ Company where we tried their specialty - Nachos topped with pulled pork and lots of jalapenos.  We decided we like this better than last year's spaghetti topped with pulled pork. We aren't sure what kind of cheese they used but this is a dish we will try to duplicate once we return home.
 

We took a detour on our trip from Tunica to Terre Haute, Indiana on Friday so that we could eat lunch at Lambert's Cafe in Sikeston, Missouri - the only home of the throwed rolls. Fortunately there were no tour buses there so we were able to easily get a table.
We weren't quite sure what they meant by "throwed rolls" but we watched as a waiter tossed the hot rolls to waiting diners.  Were they ever delicious as was all the food!! We bought a cinnamon bun for this morning's breakfast - it actually large enough to cover a small dinner plate.

Our last two nights on the road were spent in KOA campgrounds - in Terre Haute and Holly (near Flint) Michigan. Both had nice pull thru sites with good wifi. What more could we ask as we are getting tired and ready to end our trip.
