In the main casino, 1,300 slots and 56 tables allow poker players to be able to break away from the game. All poker room tournaments have 20 minute blind levels, with the exception of the $10,000 Guaranteed, in which blinds are 30 minutes in duration. The casino runs an $80 buy-in $1,500 Guaranteed on all other Sundays. On the first Sunday of every month, Gold Strike hosts a $335 buy-in $10,000 Guaranteed poker tournament that shells out 6,000 starting chips to each player and there are no rebuys or add-ons. An oversized snack and coffee bar was removed, creating more space for players and staff to scurry about. The poker room has new décor that follows in a similar modern look to the rest of the hotel.
Gold Strike officials stated that the current economy has forced them to reevaluate entertainment choices as well as scale back musical acts and other headliners that are brought in to attract patrons. That property was re-branded earlier this year. It is about one-third of the size of the largest auditorium in Tunica, which can be found at Harrah’s, formerly the Grand Casino. Although the poker room is a bit livelier at night because of the volume emanating from across the hallway, it is still much quieter than the rest of the casino.īehind the Red Door Night Club is the Gold Strike’s main theater, which houses 730 people. The atmosphere inside is reminiscent of a Las Vegas club and is unique to the nine casinos that make up the gaming offering in Tunica. The Gold Strike has introduced “Rock N Rendezvous” packages that allow guests to spend time at Beale Street, Peabody Place, and other famous Memphis sights.Īcross from the 16 table poker room on the casino’s second level is the brand new Red Door Night Club. Memphis is also the home of the National Civil Rights Museum, which is housed at the Lorraine Motel, where Martin Luther King, Jr. Graceland, as the site is known, is one of the premier tourist destinations in the Southeastern United States. The town, which is located about a half-hour north of Tunica and connected by interstate, was the former home of music icon Elvis Presley. The hotel has also come to embrace the local Memphis culture. Some suites contain whirlpool baths, which were moved from the middle of the room in the previous design to their proper place in the bathroom. Every guest room now features brand new carpet, bedding, and décor.
The hotel had not seen a major makeover in the previous 12 years and, despite the fact that its rooms received accolades in 2007, it underwent major changes in 2008. Each of the 1,133 guest quarters, including 125 suites, now has a flat panel television, writing desks, club chairs, and a distinctly modern flair. Last week, guests at the Gold Strike noticed something profoundly different about its rooms. The casino recently underwent a complete renovation of the property, highlighted by a gutting of each of its 1,133 rooms, which now boast new décor and Las Vegas style amenities.
The casino previously hosted the World Poker Open, a World Poker Tour (WPT) event, one of the legendary Southern poker events. In the gaming metropolis, one building stands tall above the surrounding landscape: the Gold Strike Casino Resort. Twenty miles south of the airport in Memphis, Tennessee is Tunica, Mississippi.
