TUNICA RESORTS — Harrah’s Entertainment, Inc. has announced the remodeling and name change of Sheraton Casino and Hotel Tunica, which will become Tunica Roadhouse Casino and Hotel. 

Sheraton Casino and Hotel will close to the public at 12:01 a.m. on Dec. 14 in order to transform the 15 year-old casino and hotel into the new Tunica Roadhouse Casino and Hotel. Tunica Roadhouse will open to the public within a week of the closure, on Dec. 18 at 5 p.m.

The renovation will include remodeling to the interior and design of the casino, food and beverage outlets, and hotel rooms. In a span of four days, Sheraton Casino and Hotel is set to become a bluesy, southern rock roadhouse complete with an authentic interior, additional bar and pub games, a mechanical bull, increased entertainment offerings, and, of course, slot machines and table games offering generous odds of winning for a comparatively low investment. 

“The Sheraton Casino and Hotel has been one of most enjoyed and best loved casinos in the Tunica market for 15 years. As we look forward to an exciting future for the Tunica Roadhouse we would like to recognize all of the employees and customers that made the Sheraton one of Tunica’s favorite gaming destinations over the years,”  said R. Scott Barber, regional president, Harrah’s Mid-South Region.

“Many of the qualities we have all grown to love about the Sheraton such as its friendly, welcoming atmosphere and the offer of a great value will live on and flourish at the new Tunica Roadhouse.”

The Tunica Roadhouse may be found online at: www. FacebookTunicaRoadhouse and at www.Twitter.com/RoadhouseTunica.
