Gold Strike Casino - Location
The Gold Strike's prime location in Casino Center means
there is never a dull moment. The Horseshoe and Sheraton casinos, with all of their additional
dining and entertainment options, are a
very easy walk from the Gold Strike's front doors.
|
The Gold Strike Casino Resort, with its 31-story
white and gold hotel tower, is one of the most distinctive and visible
structures in the predominantly agricultural northwest Mississippi countryside.
Aside from the 1200 room hotel, this Mandalay Bay Group owned resort includes a 50,000 square foot
casino, three restaurants and a food court, convention and meeting space, theatre, indoor pool, and more.

Gold Strike Casino - The Casino
The Gold Strike Casino covers 50,000 square feet, and includes over 1400 slot machines, over 40 table games,
and an eight table poker room.
Gold Strike Casino - Slot Club
One of the latest developments in slot clubs are the mega clubs, wherein individual,
often geographically diverse properties under a single ownership share one club.
The Gold Strike is owned by Mandalay Bay Group and its patrons can accumulate points into their One Club accounts
when they visit this or other participating Mandalay properties.

Gold Strike Casino - Poker Room
Gold Strike's poker room occupies the upper
level of the casino.
The following games and limits are typically offered:
- $1-5 to $2-10 Seven Card Stud
- $3-6 Omaha H/L w/ Kill
- $3-6, $6-12, $10-20, $15-30 Hold 'Em
- $2-4 to $4-8 Hold 'Em
There is a no smoking at the tables rule in effect (smokers can simply step back and puff away without bothering others too much thanks to the large space and vaulted ceiling).

Gold Strike Casino Tunica - Hotel Room
|
Hotel rooms at the Gold Strike Casino are similar to what we have seen at its Mandalay Bay Group
sister properties such as the renovated Excalibur in Las Vegas. The hotel tower opened in 1997,
so all the rooms and furnishings are fairly new and modern.
Our room was spacious, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. The carpet and walls
were mostly beige. Furniture was dark wood. In the bathroom, brass, marble, and granite were the
predominant themes.
Gold Strike's hotel rooms have views of the river and countryside, or of Tunica's Casino Center and the countryside depending on which side of the tower they are on.
Amenities included and iron and board, coffee maker, shampoo and lotions.

The Atrium Cafe is an attractive and relaxing spot to eat towards the rear of the casino.
As its name implies, the cafe is decorated to look like an atrium outdoors, complete
with fake sky, fountains, a greenhouse, and plenty of plants. The small
menu includes soup, salad, appetizers, sandwiches ($8), burgers ($8), steak and seafood
entrees ($10 to $20), and desserts.
Chicago Steak House is next to the Atrium Cafe on the first floor of the casino
and serves steaks, fish, and chops.
