We need a name for this syndrome, pre-tunicaitis or tunicus underwhelmus or something like that.

Chip runners? Free drinks?

Need to know these things before I take my first Tunica plunge. I'm used to playing in Indiana after all.

If you ever go play at Tunica, it will spoil you for playing here at home. Gold Strike, $35 a night for a weekend hotel room, play a couple hours and get a free buffet for you and the MRS.

go see Chiper (sorry, I can't remember how to spell your screen name) at the Shoe and He will take most excellent care of you.

Chip runners, free liquor everywhere, free Nathan's famous hot dogs at the Grand, if you want something, just ask, you might get it.

PS. Free liquor is good for poker.

Checking their website, the reservation for Saturday night would be $99. Who do I have to sleep with to get the room for $35?

you have to call the poker-room in advance to get the poker-room rate.

it requires 5 hours of play per night. not sure if you need to already have a gold-strike 'one-club' card or not.

The rooms are only $25/night during the week.

poker-room rate rooms are based on availability of course.

the rooms are pretty nice.
that's how me and the GF take quick little vacations down there even though it's less than an hour away.
she goes to the workout-room or the pool...I put in my 5 hours in the poker-room. then we have the rest of the day to do whatever....and it's only $25/night.

Since the rooms are usually $65 or so during the week I look at it like they are paying me $8/hr to play in a game with a bunch of players who seem very interested in giving me even more money.

Still....I prefer the horseshoe room.
