A "mini" Las Vegas?
 

I am looking for a place in Tennessee that is considered by many as a "mini" Las Vegas - casinos, shows, etc. Please respond if you know about this place - give name of city, location and other specifics. <BR>Thanks much!

Just punch up "Tunica" on any search engine.

<BR>Tunica, Mississippi is about 30 minutes from downtown Memphis. It's amazingly like Las Vegas in that it simply appears out of nowhere...it's surrounded by flat farmland. There are lots of casinos/hotels...most of which are relatively new. For further information, use your search engine. One word of caution: unless you love gambling, don't go there. There is absolutely nothing else there...no non-hotel restaurants, no nothing.

Tunica, well ok? But the place you are looking for is, I believe, Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains and where all of the Country Music singers go. I have a Rand Mc Nally map/book of the USA and in the back are coupons that you send to different places for information and it has a big advertisement for Gatlinburg, Tenn. Or you can surf the net and find it. I just found it for someone else last week. E mail me if you need more help. I was there 10 years ago and loved it!!

Here you go- I found the website- its www.mtnvalley.com/index.htm <BR>then click on the links, like area attractions and you'll get music and pictures of the shows! Have fun!!
