Delta Region

The Mississippi Delta is known around the world as the home of the blues. Delta bluesmen like Muddy Waters, B.B. King, Howlin' Wolf, John Lee Hooker and Robert Johnson, legends in their own right, also inspired rockers from the Rolling Stones and Eric Clapton to Elvis Presley and ZZ Top.

In the decade since the first casino in Tunica opened 9 casinos have turned Tunica into the most popular gaming destination between Las Vegas and Atlantic City. The casinos and area hotels offer 6,300 luxury hotel rooms.
