Harrah's Casino Tunica, formerly Grand Casino Tunica, was a casino and resort located in Tunica Resorts, Mississippi. It was owned and operated by Caesars Entertainment. The casino offered a 140,000 sq ft (13,000 m²) casino and three hotels with a total of 1,356 rooms. There was also an RV park, the Bellissimo Spa & Salon, a convention center, The Willows sporting clays shotgun club, and a 2,500 seat entertainment venue called the Harrah's Event Center.

Citing steadily declining business rates in its last few years, Caesars announced the closure of Harrah's Casino Tunica, along with its hotels, golf course, and events center in March 2014.^[1] The casino was closed permanently on June 2, 2014 and was demolished in August 2015.^[2] As of December 2020^{[update][citation needed]}, the three hotel buildings remained standing, but have not operated since the resort's closure in 2014. The golf course and events center were also abandoned. Caesars rented out one hotel and its parking lot to an auction company to have live auctions for farm equipment and other large items.

In 2021 a plan was announced to redevelop the property. ^[3]
