$5k a person to see $50 worth of attractions is a hell of deal...

My parents did it in their 60’s and were spring chickens on the tour.

I own a business in that route. It's 90% retired California people in their 80s

I'd do it if they recreated the poker game from Maverick

I’d pay $5k to escape Tunica rather than to visit it.

The prices for that are absolutely unbelievable. With all the cruises you could take for that kind of money, who are the people paying for the sold out rooms?

I can’t either…however, there is quite an international following for blues music. Each summer, there is an influx of European travelers that travel the Mississippi delta stopping in each little town. I imaging]e they are the primary customers of this kind of thing.

All river cruises are expensive and loaded with old people.

I remember there being a ton of casino resorts up there like 20 something years ago. Is there anything even still up there?

I fish at the ferry landing where they dock. One morning I was fishing when an old guy walked over from the boat to talk to me. I asked him about the boat and he ended up spending about 30 minutes explaining the difference between a boat and a ship. He was a very dull dude.

Still a few casinos but most shut down. The Horseshoe and Gold Strike aren’t bad, Horseshoe has one of the better poker rooms in the country.

There are a few, but I don't know if I'd use the term, "influx."
