Bus Charters to Tunica

[RacersEdge]

I'm looking for some type of bus charter to bring some relatives from Atlanta to Tunica. Does such thing exist? The casinos there don't seem to have any connection into specific bus packages that would bring people there from other cities. I'm not getting much through Google. Anyone have any ideas?

I'm surprised the casinos themselves weren't able to help you.


Every graveyeard shift (2a-10a or 4a-12p) BJ dealer in Tunica knows that from 6a-9a there will be ton of senior-citizens coming in on bus-junkets to play at one casino or another for a couple of hours.

Look outside in the parking lot and there they are all loading-up or getting-off the buses.

I know they run the junkets from Georgia, Cincinnati, Carolinas, Oklahoma, wherever.


If you only recently called the casinos then perhaps try calling again Tuesday or Wednesday. There might be some people who could provide some ideas who are not in their office during the holiday weekend.
I'm still surprised nobody could give you any ideas when you called the casinos though.

I absolutely KNOW they get customers there via bus-junkets. but I really don't know what direction to steer you to find out more regarding who to contact or how it works.

You call em "junkets" me and my friends call them, The blue-hair special. They are great imo. 99$ from STL to tunica, by bus, includes 2 days 3 nights, all meals, room, and cash back vouchers, from a bunch of different casinos. We bring a cooler, start drinking at 8 am or so on hte bust (while watchign a yakov smirnov video tehy provide), and dont stop till the ride home.

Wow...I'm ready to drive from Memphis up to St. Louis to do this.
The Yakov Smirnov video experience has to make it worthwhile.


Perhaps you could provide the name of the company that does this out of St. Louis. There's a chance they also run out of Atlanta and could prove helpful to racersedge.

Ya, the video is awesome, always hilarious. Plus bingo, and the winner gets 5$ worth of dimes. The company in St. Louis, is Best Tours. I couldnt find anything on the net, you may need to call 411 and find some more info.
