The area is somewhat depressing as several casinos have been razed or abandoned. Both vices are heavily enjoyed as of this date. MGM is in the process of delivering control of the operation to the Cherokee Indians in OK so there may be changes in the future as I am not acquainted with their smoking and alcohol stance. The casino was clean and I didn't have any issues.
The food was good, portions were good and for a casino, the prices were good. 5 hours after I ate the $85 meal that consisted of onion soup, bread, baked potato and under cooked chicken breast I spent some time depositing the meal in the toilet as I was sick to my stomach. The Chicago Steak House was a disappointment for me. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean.

The coffee maker had to 'rest ' between uses in order to brew two cups of coffee. The room was acceptable but a few small issues like loose towel rack and toilet paper holder.
Nothing but farm land and a few casinos some miles apart. Great choice if your in the Tunica area but dont expect paradise.
