Mississippi is a state rich in history and culture with magnificent mansions lining the streets of the towns throughout. Memorials to the Civil War are found in almost every corner of the state, as are old battlefields and cemeteries. There are also collections of quaint towns and Las Vegas style casinos. You'll find museums, celebrated authors and contemporary art communities. Mississippi has something different to offer for even the most seasoned travelers.

The State has always been richly endowed with water, plants, and animals, and before recorded time, it accommodated a great variety of peoples with large populations. As you drive through Mississippi, you'll hum through some of the prettiest country you'll ever see. And then, slowing down, you'll roll gently into a little town that feels like home.

Great adventure is in store for visitors who enjoy Las Vegas-style gaming. Mississippi has become a hotbed of new casinos. Open 24 hours, seven days a week, these casinos offer high limits, liberal rules and games that include craps, blackjack, mini-baccarat, all kinds of poker, roulette and, of course, slot machines. Most casinos offer free players club memberships and valet parking, plus prizes galore. Even if you are a novice or a non-gambler, you will find lots of live entertainment, elegant restaurants, sumptuous buffets, and even some entertainment centers for younger visitors.
