TEN 10 is Gold Strike's brand-new wine and whiskey bar and lounge. Head downstairs to the grand opening party for TEN10. Check into the room. There's valet parking, but we found a spot right in front of the hotel, so we pull right in. Our room is on the 20th floor of Gold Strike Hotel, and it's comfy and clean and wi-fi is included.Ħ:30 p.m. Once we escape the city, though, the drive is fairly quick and uneventful.Ħ:15 p.m.

on a Thursday is probably not as bad traffic-wise as leaving on Friday, but it is not good. Here's the run down of my 19-hour break from reality. There are nine big casinos in Tunica, but I chose to spend my trip at the Gold Strike specifically because - full disclosure - they invited me, but most importantly because they have three new restaurants and a few other new features, all of which I wanted to try out so I could report back to you. If you're thinking about going back, or checking it out for the first time, or if you just like looking at pictures of food, this post is for you. I figure most people who live in Memphis who want to go to Tunica have been, but like me, maybe haven't been in a while. There aren't a lot of places you can take a 19-hour vacation to from Memphis, but Tunica is one of them.
