When i first started going to Hollywood everything was real nice in 2002. in the past year everything has gone downhill.

The clerks on the first desk are very rude, i've been there almost monthly this past year so this isn't an isolated incident. The last trip i was on 8-21-09 i arrived around. 3:30, bought in suitcases and was told my room wasn't clean, but would go ahead and register me, ask what to do with luggage, this was my problem and the cleaning crew has until 6:00 pm to have room ready, but i could keep checking back.

We take luggage back to car. i check every 20 minutes and finally given a room, we get unpacked (planned to stay 3 nights) ready to go to casino and get call from front desk told we have to move because the carpet is wet. Told person it would take me about 10 min to get repacked. Waited and no one came, called the front was told no one would be coming to move me, i had to come back to the front and get keys for the different room.

When i got to front they acted at first like they didn't know why i was asking to be moved i told her not my request, they told me i couldnt stay in that room with wet carpet. This was such a waste of my time and not my fault.

If the cleaning crew has until 6 to get rooms ready why is checkin 4 pm? After all this someone calls my room and wakes my husband after 10 pm asking if room ok. He plays the slots some, but has a bad back and old neck injury he goes to bed early, he only comes to bring me i usually play all night. You can check how much i play and spend.

The trip before this i had to wait for room, but the only problem i had was with this girl wendy which two previous trips i have ask to make sure i get a room with the big chair and stool due to husband medical problems, he can't stay in bed the whole time. i was told there was no way for her to know what was in a room.

On one trip dealing with her we got room with no chair only the desk type, i came back to front and ask if we could change rooms, we had to take luggage back to car and checking back with front for information from house keeping on a room with a big chair, which took until almost 6 pm.

Any questions you have to the front desk if this isn't their job they don't know where to direct for an answer. I don't believe this they just are rude. They should go through customer service training. They will not look at the person they are talking with.

The trip we were on 8-21-09 we were kept awake by someone's dog which barked all night. we ask about the hotel allowing animals and were told we are pet friendly, what about people friendly? We can't stay in rooms where dogs have been due to health reasons, are you going to pay medical bills?

I had to go to doctor on return home due this. if you are allowing the dogs to stay, there needs to be a list of rooms which arer people friendly, kept free of dogs.

I like dogs, but can't share a room with dogs. i could go on and on, you need more people working the floor, or change the machines to pay under $1,200 jackpot without having to sit 30 minutes to wait on someone to bring the money.

Husband and I just got back from 5 night stay; Sun.-Thurs. Room was good, nice beds, firm, which is great for me. But the carpet was worn, needs replacing. Cleaning crews were hard at work all over the building constantly; rarely found a dirty ashtray. The huge improvement is the service providers, very friendly, helpful and upbeat! Not so much last year and year before. We play slots, keno and video keno and poker; didn't play table games so I rated that a 3 to be fair. Buffet is good, never had to pay for food, great players card benefits (we were comped 3 night stay). Missed Twain's closed during the week; Snacks n Stuff had a great philly cheese steak.

While in Tunica you have to try Paula Deen's buffet the best dry rub ribs we ever had, better than Corky's. Hollywood has a steak and crabs legs buffet on Thurs. evening, very good.

Won a big jackpot at Sam's Town so we left with good money! We had a great time! Would definitely recommend a stay here!

Slot area is passable. Food is EXCELLENT! Casino as a whole is OK. HOTEL service is lousy! It is a shame too. I have stayed there several times past years and found the front desk staff outstanding.

HOWEVER, in the past 6 months or so; things have taken a drastic turn. I have attempted now, at least 3 to 4 times, to use my coupon for a FREE STAY at the hotel. EACH time I have been told there are no rooms available ... and that if I wanted to UPGRADE to Jacuzzi room it would cost me $129.00. So, that makes three trips, or four, I did not make ... and I did not spend my money. OF COURSE, I always play more than the room rate while I am there ... but, I guess that doesn't matter. ALSO, the individual answering the phone at hotel on July 26, 2009 @ approximately 2:30pm was rude and unaccommodating.

Probably mentioned before, but the VIDEO POKER here is tops. Full Pay at the quarter level & up.

Not so at its sister property Horseshoe next door. If you're staying at the "shoe", play your VP at Sheraton.

Maybe 100 feet door to door.

It's too bad the Veranda & Terrace hotel buildings are so far away that you need to use their shuttle service.

Be that as it may, the Paula Deen buffet is top notch. On a visit last year, they even had info on how to make cetain dishes for the taking. If you go to Tunica - don't miss this buffet.

A few months ago we spent 2 nights at Sam's for the first time. You thought a Motel 6 was bad ?

Must be the worst rooms in town--at least ours was.

On the plus side, the Dinner buffet rates right up there with Paula Deen's !
Hard to beat beer & wine, Corky's ribs(wet rub) & the chocolate fountain available.
I'd recommend playing & eating there, but stay at Hollywood if you like that corner of casinos.

Well, I had high hopes for Greenville and Harlow's. I talked on the phone to the poker room host and they promised some very cheap poker rate and I'd read that folks enjoyed this fine, new place. But for live poker it was a bust.

When I got there the first time, they told me they had changed up the hours and did not even start games until 4 PM.

So I came back at 4 only to find a dead empty room with four names on the list.
I waited an hour and never saw another person in the room all that time. So I readjusted my two nights in Greenville, caught some cheap rooms in Tunica and went up there.

I did like the cashback which I think might be the highest. For just a bit of play I got $5 back quickly and on nickel video poker. In fact, this was the absolute best nickel VP I saw in Mississippi or Louisiana, full 8/5 pay for Bonus poker. I played until I earned my free keychain, a fine little Harlow's hat by the way, and then I cashed in, breaking even with the $5 cashback figured in.

I did think the rest of the casino was fine looking and sparkling. If they had poker there at any consistent rate, I'd have been happy to stay there. The drinks were good.

My GPS took me on a winding route through little neighborhoods of houses beat up by the hurricane. The GPS routes are certainly ways I would never experience with a map and directions. In fact, with a map and directions I doubt I would have located this little casino.

As it was the GPS said I had reached my destination and all I could see was deserted waterfront and the remnants of an old waterslide. So I called the Silver Slipper.

"Well, you are right near us, can't you see us." "Do you have a large balloon like bubble over the top of the casino?" "No, not really. Look, just take that road along the Gulf to the end and you will get to us."

So I did. Turns out they do have such a bubble, but it is not part of the casino, just a storage tank set back from the casino.

This route along the water is like no other road to any casino I have visited. There were some beaches and then I could be driving inches from deep Gulf water. I could have fished right off the side of the road.

Facing the water would be a stretch of wiped out house and then some workman rebuilding and then some finished beauty of a house all new and shiny and then some older place that somehow had missed damage.

The casino itself was right on the water. They did not need any fake pools at this place and the water was much more accessible than at Biloxi. You could walk from the casino parking lot to the shore and feel like you were off on a deserted island.

I came because they offered a great sign up bonus and advertised $3 rake for live poker. $3 is the best in that neck of the woods and beats all the rakes from Lake Charles, LA and up the Mississippi River to Caruthersville, Missouri.

The first free deal was free brignets and coffee in a little cafe. They were just as good as anything I had in the French Quarter of New Orleans. So I munched a while, and then headed over to the little poker room.

Well, I was too early. Not enough players for a game. They did have some little promotions. I believe they had aces cracked at certain times. But the good rake would go away soon.The poker room person told me they just did not make up in more people what they lost in revenue on a reduced rake. Too bad. You'd think that poker players would get the math of this, get it that it can mean up to $20 in their pocket every time they play. No, no, but they will all flock to the bingo bonus bad beat where instead of getting a buck or two back on each winning hand as you do with a $3 rake, they hand over a buck for a lottery like bet. A dollar and a dream. Just the poker is not enough for folks, they gotta have the big win in their fantasy lives.

Well, the casino was delightful. There was no good VP under the dollar level, but the place was friendly and small and I entertained myself with the freeplay while I waited for the buffet to open.

A reduced price buffet was also part of the free signup bonus. I expected something small and average like those small buffets in Vegas, but this was delightful with finely prepared dishes including some of the better catfish I have eaten. That made the trip.

They don't yet have a hotel which is ironic because they have to be far from any other hotel as well. I could see myself wandering back here to play poker and fish and just be by the water. I suppose in good weather more folks gather on the beaches than the handful I saw, but even so it would be a delightful spot.

For my signup I got a fine black Silver Slipper T shirt. The poker boys here in Albany NY won't have one like that.

And then I needed to head out to Lake Charles and meet up with Louisiana Mudgiff Aligator Dan, the Silver Striking man, for a lesson in the correct way to peel boiled crawfish. But that is another story.

Slots seemed looser than the other slots in Tunica. We were able to play awhile and sometimes win money. They have 5 cent, 10 cent & 25 cent video poker which you were able to play for awhile.

I liked this little place. It reminded me of the smaller casinos in Vegas years ago before eveything needed to be so grand and opulently overwhelming. There were  plenty of themed photos and hanging decorations, as well as cases that collected bits of various movies. Some of the cars from famous movies were there, including one from Back to the Future. They let me photograph any of this, but the shots did not come out too well.

I am not the best to evalutate the gamblling because I play only live limit poker, but their $3-$6 game is my favorite limit game. Perhaps I was there on a good night,but all up the Mississippi on my 21 day trip I found myself stuck in poker games where players dwindled away. At Hollywood the table was full of a mixture of young college kids and older players and the atmosphere was of a party. The girls ordered sex on the beach and then teased all of us older men into having sex on the beach with them.

I made money. The players would pay my better cards by staying with second best hands. The drink service was friendly and fast and the floor people and dealers were very easy and personable.

I was sorry not to have tried to stay there when I saw the little indoor pool and how it too was decorated and interesting. It was too cold to swim outside in March, but at the Hollywood I'd have had a good swim in the indoor pool.

I did not eat the buffet, but I did enjoy the selections in the little diner. Outside that diner each morning I could set up my computer and get free wi-fi on little metal tables.

Tunica casinos are spread out, but this casino is near Sam's Town and Resorts so there is a cluster of three.
