Fitzgerald’s Casino

Overall we had a good time. The only down side was the whole 4^th floor smelled like weed. The whole time.

People complain about anything and everything. I paid $ 30 for the night with tax on my way from Los Angeles to Tennessee. The night before I got stuck in a HORRIBLE room for $ 60, this was heaven! The lobby is very nice and so are the women working! The whole place smells like smoke. I don’t care though cus I smoke! The rooms are nice for $ 30. Clean and cozy. The casino is nice too. Skip the buffet it’s gross. This was my first time in tunica so next time I’ll probably go to gold strike and see which ones better!!!

You’ll be sorry!
Two wet towels on the curtain rod to the shower when we first entered the room. Snot on the curtains. Dust on the bed posts. TV is not widescreen — it’s a 4×3 ratio. NO free Wi-​Fi. Staff at the front desk were indifferent. The beds were too high. Sardines would be happy with the room with two beds!
I paid eighty dollars for three people to the buffet on Friday night — $ 80.00!!! The food was forgettable.
This casino looks run down! We left several hours later (we didn’t spend the night) to go back home. We were there on April 24, 2015.

Arrived in middle of night (or early morning) debated about choosing the Fitz but happy about decision– room was clean, bed was very comfy. Front desk clerk Seryetta was extremely nice. Will definitely choose again. Room was outdated but certainly comfortable

I forgot to. mention in my eaarlieer post that WIFI is not. free sat Fitzgerald’s!!! They want you to pay $ 10.99 per night of it! When I asked for an explanation, they told me that’s because they are looking for a new provider. I called Sam’s Town and they said their WIFI is free like every other hotel I’ve stayed at. One star is too high a rating for this place.

I have stayed for my last time at The Fitz. The only reason I am giving two stars is because the management staff at the hotel was considerate, friendly and professional. The rooms are HORRIBLE, hardly anything works correctly and fixtures are falling off. We stayed in a suite by the way. TOTALLY did not get what we paid for — at ALL! Carpets are HORRENDOUS throughout the hotel and in the casino. The buffet, which is usually the main attraction was awful and way too expensive for the selection. We paid big and left hungry and in search for better. Totally dissatisfied and will not be a return.

I would give the Fitz 0 stars if I could. I went for a concert and booked the hotel as part of the package. Not only was the room very outdated, but it was nasty. stains on the carpet, sheets, pillows, couch, even the curtains. I requested a non-​smoking room. I even called back to verify, but we ended up with a smoking room. I called the front desk for help, and all she said was that all of the rooms were booked. I would have rather taken the $ 100 for the room and thrown it out the window on the highway back to Memphis after the concert.

This casino was not very big, I went with my family who are smokers, we stayed in the hotel and the rooms were nothing special. T
We are dinner and breakfast at the buffet and I’m sad to say the food was horrible! One good thing though is that when you gamble you get free beer!!! Yay! And the customer service at the snack bar was awesome!

I made a video review to actually show what mattered to me, ex: the standard room. It’s short and to the point:

This is hidden on a spooky little lane by the river. Why did I say that? Because it was!
Crowded, smoky, and popular with locals, we didn’t stay long enough to try playing because every machine looked occupied. I don’t foresee a future trip to Tunica in my future, so I can’t fill out this review.

This is our favorite place! The beds are so comfortable, the staff is outstandingly friendly, and we usually win some. The buffet is good, too. Love stayin’ at the Fitz!

I went to the Buffet and was pleased at the selection. The food was good and there was plenty of it. Deserts were on point. I may go back again. The only bad thing was that people were actually eating food and smoking cigarettes in the eating area! I hate smoke so may be a long time before I go back would be nice if they could ban the smoke in the eating area. If you smoke you will love it

This one is all by itself. There is nothing else within walking distance. It’s a large property, and I did very well in the casino. Also, if you’ join their players club as a new member and play for only 30 minutes on any machine, they will comp you a free buffet, which was actually quite good.
The place was pretty busy on a Wednesday afternoon. All the staff were very pleasant. I’ll be back again.

Never stayed at the hotel but I’m a fan of the $ 3 blackjack tables. Great dealers, awesome cocktail waitress who checked us on frequently and brought ice cold beers. The ‘clientele’ is about what you’d expect at any casino in the dirty south: rough, but to me, it’s just part of the fun! Actually witnessed a blistering drunk man tell the blackjack dealer he was «gonna take him out back to the dumpster»…gotta love it!

I’m on the fence about this place. I like it because they have all the slots that I like and I do pretty well in terms of winnings. My biggest complaint is how close together everything is. It’s like you’re sitting on top of people. The other problem with that is the smokiness. No matter what, you will walk out of that place smelling like an ashtray. Ugh.
I keep going back because I like to win.

Didja ever see National Lampoon’s Vegas Vacation? Yeah, then there’s no need for you to visit this casino. I know casinos generally tend to harbor some not so favorable characters, but this place takes the cake. A friend suggested we go here on a Saturday night as their table games tend to be a lot cheaper than Harrah’s and Horseshoe– Fitzgerald’s offers $ 5 dollar tables where the others on weekends are usually double that.
I guess I should preface this by stating that I do not gamble. In fact I loathe gambling. The few times I have gone, I’ve gotten angry at myself for losing a measly $ 30 (HEY! I coulda totally bought a super cute shirt with that $ 30!!) So, obviously I went with the group as more of an outing where I would sit and watch and partake in dinner and drinks.
Oh the dinner. Where to even start? Riverview Buffet is located inside Fitzgerald’s and seeing as it was $ 16.95 a person, we assumed it would be pretty good. I guess we should have perused the food selection before paying. Completely, unabashedly, unacceptable is what this buffet was. Half the trays were empty and the rest were so old they were burnt on top and completely dried out. It was only about 11pm and the sign advertised they didn’t close until 2am. As the four of us sat around our table taking one bite of each item we found acceptable enough to put on our plates, and then immediately spitting it out into a napkin and discarding the rest of the uneaten item onto another plate, we just started laughing hysterically. There was no other emotion to truly encompass how bad this was. There were no other words. I think the worst part of it was as we looked around, the other diners were clueless to how bad this buffet truly was.
How bad was the food? I can only comment on what we had, which wasn’t much. There are 4 – 5 little buffet areas with choices laid out and a salad bar area. I completely avoided the salad bar area cuz I knew that could end up being a huge mistake. The steak was more of a meat patty with those fake grill mark lines on the top, the scallop potatoes were the taste and consistency of paste, the crab rangoons were filled to the brims with sour tasting cream cheese– no crab, the fried shrimp was so dry it was crunchy at the actual shrimp part and the macaroni and cheese was a combination of flavorless paste and watery goo.
The dessert wasn’t any better. I opted for a cheesecake bite and blackberry cobbler. The cheesecake was a fried ball of what should have tasted like cheesecake– instead it tasted like stale bread that’s been mingling with whatever was chilling in your bread drawer. The blackberry cobbler was literally blackberry jam with Bisquick on top. It was vile.
As if this wasn’t bad enough, as we were leaving to go back to game playing and coming down the escalators, we noticed there was a pile of about 3 – 4 chicken leg and wing bones in the corner where the railing meets the floor. Bleeech! Needless to say, I will not be back and will advise everyone I know to steer clear. This was seriously one of the worst dining experiences of my life. No joke.

OH Hell No!!!
Everything felt so cramped, felt as if we were so packed together on top of one another. Nothing was spaces out. You couldn’t walk between slot machines because chairs and people were in the way.
Not good for handicap or people in wheelchairs, they were just limited on where to go. I seen one person just fight the crowd and obstacles, in his way, to get through to his slot so he can lose his money.
