Tunica Resort Area
Fact Sheet
Tunica, the “The South’s
Casino Capital,” is strategically located 30 minutes
south of Memphis, conveniently located at the crossroads of I-40 and
I-55. Tunica welcomes more than 10 million visitors annually, easily
accessible from all points in the Central United States.
In 1990, the Mississippi
Legislature legalized gaming as a job and tax creation strategy. Tunica’s
leaders saw the opportunity for a new industry and badly needed job
creation. The new law authorized gaming on a local county option basis for
counties along the Mississippi River and the Gulf Coast. Tunica’s civic and
business leaders put together an economic development strategy, and the
“Tunica Miracle” began.
