Mississippi Entertainment & Dining

Mississippi’s entertainment landscape is much like the golf scene. Exciting and varied, it reflects regional influences. Mississippi has been instrumental in the birth, growth and popularity of musical genres such as blues, country and rock ’n’ roll, thanks to its most famous musical son, Elvis Presley. These musical styles are truly Mississippi made and reflected in the Mississippi Blues Trail and Mississippi Country Music Trail. The song lyrics tell the story, while the beats, rhythms and melodies reflect the state’s diverse heritage.

As one of the largest casino destinations in the country, Mississippi offers gaming and sportsbook opportunities throughout the state. Celebrity entertainers, gourmet dining, luxury accommodations, spas and many more amenities turn Mississippi's gaming resorts into memorable, fun-filled vacations, family reunions, and of course, golf trips.

Beyond the music and entertainment in Mississippi, there’s unbeatable dining. Mississippi's culinary heritage has something to please every palate, with offerings that include locally farmed catfish, tamales, fresh Gulf seafood, gourmet burgers, sweet potato fries, grass-fed beef, and Southern sweets. The Magnolia State is home to James Beard award-winning chefs and noted national food writers.

Food and entertainment are a big part of the draw to Mississippi. Although visitors may initially come for the great golf, they come back for the taste of our Southern cuisine, the fun of our world-class gaming and the intrigue of our deep, musical roots.
