The casinos moved to the Northern Region of the county near Robinsonville, MS. Which is now called Tunica Resorts, MS located in Tunica County, Mississippi. The casinos are not in the town of Tunica, in fact they are located out among the cotton fields in the County of Tunica along the Mississippi River. The Mississippi Gambling Law requires the casinos to be on water. You have to look really close at most of the casinos to see that they are actually built on barges and are floating in water. The Grand Casino is the most obvious, others you have to take a minute and look for the water. The Casino hotels, service areas, and most restaurants are built on land adjacent to the actual casinos. The Casino Resort Area, Tunica Resorts, MS, is located 17 miles from the Memphis, Tennessee City Limits. Related Links on Tunica-ms.com: Book Online or Call Today for discount reservations |
