700 Fitzgerald’s Casino

Surprisingly (and thankfully) enough you see very little of the casinos as you float behind their bustling enterprises.

You can almost imagine leaping leprechauns and shining unicorns emerging from the mist on an overcast day. Just beyond Fitzgerald’s is the Tunica Riverpark Museum, a must-stop for any paddlers or river-rats passing through this area.
