It's about a 30-minute drive from Memphis International Airport. If you don't have a car, the Tunica Trolley, a trackless trolley service, makes frequent scheduled runs between casinos. There are also several chain motels in the area, such as Days Inn, Hampton Inn-Tunica and Holiday Inn Express. But visitors should also treat themselves to some local favorites such as catfish and fried chicken. Temperatures in this part of the Mississippi Delta climb into the upper 80s and 90s in July and August, with stifling humidity.
Winters are mild, but temperatures can drop below freezing, and there can be an ice storm.
