History[edit]Grand Casino Tunica (1996-2007)[edit]Harrah\'s Tunica Hotel and Casino
The casino itself was built in 1996. It was the largest casino between Las Vegas and Atlantic City, featuring a large poker room. The Harrah\'s Casino Hotel was directly connected to the casino and contained 148 rooms and 40 suites. Two additional hotels were situated along a lake approximately ½ mile away. Complimentary shuttle service ran 24 hours a day to take guests to and from the casino. The Veranda Resort Hotel, which opened in 1996 along with the casino, contained 532 rooms and 36 suites. The largest hotel was the Terrace Hotel & Spa, which opened in 1999 and contained 563 rooms and 37 suites.
Grand Casino Tunica\'s original owner wasGrand Casinos, Inc., headed byLyle Berman, a pioneer in developing resort-style casinos onNative Americanreservations and in Mississippi.
In 1998, Berman and Grand Casinos, Inc., sold theirTunica, andBiloxi, Mississippiresorts to the gaming division ofHilton Hotels, with the combined assets being spun off to create a new corporation calledPark Place Entertainment(later renamed Caesars Entertainment).
In 2005, Caesars Entertainment was acquired byHarrah\'s Entertainment, which converted back to the Caesars Entertainment name in 2010. In the Tunica market, Caesars also operatesHorseshoe Casino TunicaandTunica Roadhouse Casino & Hotel(formerly Sheraton). The three properties share management and player marketing operations.
Harrah\'s Casino Tunica (2007-2014)[edit]
In October 2007, Harrah\'s officials announced that Grand Casino Tunica would undergo a $45 million renovation of its hotels and casinos, which included the resort being renamed Harrah\'s Casino Tunica.[3]In addition, the company announced that the new Harrah\'s will feature a new buffet bearing the name ofFood Networkcelebrity chefPaula Deen. Paula Deen\'s Buffet is reported to be the first celebrity chef-branded buffet at an American casino.[4]
AToby Keith\'s I Love This Bar & Grillowned by Scottsdale, Arizona-based Capri Restaurant Group Enterprises LLC opened in Harrah\'s in September 2010, replacing the former Replays bar and grill and Murano\'s Italian Restaurant.
Previous Harrah\'s Casinos in Tunica[edit]
This is the third casino in Tunica Resorts to bear the name Harrah\'s. The previous Harrah\'s Tunica was designed by Steelman Partners. The first was located just off Casino Strip Blvd., several miles south of the former Grand, and was the first casino to open in that area. In 1996, Harrah\'s acquired the shutteredSouthern Belle Casino, approximately 500 yards (450 m) away from the first Harrah\'s. The company operated both casinos as Harrah\'s for a short time, calling the second property \"Harrah\'s Mardi Gras.\" Eventually, Harrah\'s sold the original property toIsle of Capri Casinos, who operated it as \"Isle of Capri Tunica\" for a short time before closing it.
With the sale of Caesars to Harrah\'s in 2004, the combined companies were forced to sell two properties to avoid owning five of the nine casinos in the Tunica market. The remaining Harrah\'s was sold, along withBally\'s Casino Tunica, toColony Capital, and Harrah\'s was renamedResorts Casino Tunica.
