Re: Tunica, I guess...

I just want a cheap poker vacation. Clean room/low price/good games. Doesn't everybody? I did a search and most dissed Biloxi/Gulfport which are closest to me, maybe six hours(I'm 2.5 hours SE of Atlanta).

You're closer to Biloxi than Tunica, for sure.
I lived in Alpharetta about 3 years ago, and my parents live in Memphis, so I made this drive quite a bit. If you decide to go to Tunica, you may actually be better off driving through chattanooga to nashville to memphis. However, if 78 has been completed from birmingham to the AL/MS state line, you're probably better off going that way.
IMO Tunica has better action than the gulf coast, but less to do outisde of gaming. If you're just going for the poker, definitely go to Tunica.
The Goldstrike is OK, but I prefer the Horseshoe. They're literally 10 feet apart from each other, though, so it doesn't really matter which one you stay at. I think GS has a few more tables. If you like a quite room, though, the Goldstrike is much better, the poker room is upstairs and off by itself, whereas the Horseshoe's room is open to the rest of the casino.
If you're going to be in Tunica for a while, it's worth the short (5 minute) drive to the Grand, too.
