Hollywood Casino Tunica

report from Rick and Lucky Lucy, January 2008

A couple bucks a day more expensive than Sam's Town but well worth it. They provide free coffee and a free newspaper each morning (including the Sunday paper). The bath house has been recently remodeled and is in excellent shape -- also clean. The casino hotel is in easy walking distance where we find a good wi-fi signal (also in hotel parking lot). There is a coffee machine near the hotel front desk that dispenses cappuccino, latte, espresso, and other coffee choices in both real and decaf. It is pleasant to set up the laptop on a convenient table, sip cappuccino, and surf the internet. Almost like an internet cafe only this is all free. One of the major factors for us is the large open field
next to the campground were we can walk our dog.

Now for the downside (there always is one). All the Hollywood's video poker is short pay. Since this is our game of choice, this is a real handicap. We did gamble there this trip with predictable results but did get a few free meals and free camping. The Reserve within easy walking distance does have full pay machines so all is not lost. This will be our
campground of choice on future visits to Tunica.

The Hollywood has a pretty decent RV park and the price is reasonable at about $15 per day for full hook-up. They also permit dry camping in the large parking lot behind the casino/hotel. Comps and cash back are good and we have never paid for a camp site or a meal. Unfortunately, on our last visit in March 07 we discovered they had removed all the full pay video poker machines. I expect the slots payouts have also been reduced.

Their buffet is just so-so but reasonably priced. The restaurant, Fairbanks, is one of the best we have visited any where any time. The service, ambiance, and food were just superb. We manage to have at least one meal there every time we visit the Tunica area and we have never been disappointed.

report from reader Gail R, October 2006

We just visited the Hollywood RV Park in Tunica. We had traveled for many miles on our way back to Houston, TX (we had dry camped for awhile) and decided to stop in Tunica. Needless to say the RV park was sold out on a Saturday night.

We were invited to use the RV dump site free of charge and the parking lot Security Officer found a place for us and another camper to fill with drinking water. We parked in the large parking lot with alot of other campers and were visited by the Security staff to assure we did not need any help and to welcome us to the Hollywood Casino. This is what I call a RV friendly Casino.


Casino Camper Visit - May, 2006

We were staying across the street at Sam's and visited Hollywood's RV park just to snap a couple of photos. Maybe next time we'll stay here? It was $2 a night more than Sam's, and for that it seemed you got a little nicer landscaping. Either are a good choice, and a good value. Both have some pull-through sites as well as back in.
