Our favorite place in Memphis to visit.
As of 2020, the town is home to six casinos: 1st Jackpot Casino Tunica. Fitzgeralds Casino & Hotel Tunica. Gold Strike Casino Resort. Hollywood Casino Tunica. Horseshoe Casino Tunica. Sam's Town Hotel and Gambling Hall.
This is right near the hotel and wedding venue. Plenty of shopping (and way cheaper than PA, NY, CA, MA, or any other place we've lived).
Southland Casino Racing, formally Southland Park Gaming and Racing, is a casino, buffet, and greyhound racetrack in West Memphis, Arkansas. 6,656 greyhound races took place at the Park in 2019. Simulcast thoroughbred and greyhound races from other tracks around the United States are also offered.
If you love Elvis, this may be for you. Many of us natives haven't been but you can check it out. 👀
Think of Bourbon Street in New Orleans but more tamed. This is downtown Memphis. Parking can get tricky, but it's the holiday weekend! There is plenty that's going on there at night (but be careful... it is Memphis!).
