We left for Tunica thinking it would take two days to get there but it only took one. I misread the map mileage as 284 when it is only 184 miles from Jackson on I-55. We got there about 6 p.m. and went to the Hollywood Casino to park over night in their back parking lot. Tomorrow we'll go over to Sam's Town where we have three free nights. Two of the area casinos are offering $1 buffets as long as you have the points on your player's card so we'll eat well despite the fact the RV refrigerator seems to not be working. We were in the hotel so we didn't realize something was wrong until getting ready to leave to go over to Bally's the next day for lunch. The temperature in the freezer read 20 degrees but the bacon was soft so something was wrong. The "check" light had been on and when we flipped the switch from automatic to gas it went off.
I checked out the pool area. It's like a garden enclosed by the four walls made by the hotel and casino complex with a decent size pool and huge hot tub. I don't think we'll use the pool while we are here even though it's still open. The air temperature is 70 degrees.
The room was great - the view isn't. It's of the parking lot and the two other casino/hotels across the road. We could see the cotton fields and they are ready to be harvested.
