Stunning Civil War-era homes and quieter beaches give Gulfport a distinct southern charm. After all, this has been a favorite vacation spot for wealthier southerners for years. Situated next to the city of Biloxi on the sands of the Gulf Coast, this hospitable town has several casinos of its own. The nightlife here is non-stop. For fun during the day, families can head to Wet Willy's, home to three 400-foot water slides, or to the Marine Life Oceanarium for the new Dolphin Interaction Program.
Located 20 minutes south of Memphis, Tunica is in the heart of "Casino Country". It is home to the largest dockside casino in the world. Some of the best restaurants in the region line the streets of Tunica, mixed with Las Vegas-style shows and plush, all-inclusive resorts. If you're looking to party and be pampered, Tunica is worth staying for a while.
