Sunny Rhodes has a great choice of fabulous resorts to choose from, like bustling Rhodes Town, sleepy Lardos and picturesque Lindos to name a few. We have suggested some of the popular resorts and have highlighted which resorts are close by, to assist you and your guests in selecting where to stay.
The map gives an idea of the location of the resorts on the island and if you need any advice on where to stay, we are happy to give suggestions, as we have a vast knowledge of this wonderful island.

Rhodes Town
Rhodes Town is the cultural and shopping capital of the Dodecanese islands, as well as having some of the most sophisticated nightlife in Greece. The cosmopolitan capital has broad tree-lined avenues, imposing public buildings, Mandraki harbour, the Turkish and Jewish quarters and the magnificent old town, and a stunningly well-preserved Crusader fortress city. Wandering round the cobbles streets it's easy to picture how it must have looked back in the Middle Ages - despite the modern boutiques, tavernas and souvenir shops! It's hard to not to get swept up in this ancient town's rich history.
As night falls then it's time to head off to one of the many tavernas and stylish restaurant offering the fresh catch of the day, traditional Greek cuisine and fine dining. Then onto the aptly named Bar Street - for a night of drinking and dancing, or maybe a flutter at the grand casino located by the main beach.
For top class hotels with all the trimmings Rhodes Town has plenty to see and do, and if you decide to hire a car, the whole island's yours to explore.

Ixia
Ixia is perfect for active holidaymakers with an endless stretch of shingle beach, complete with sunbeds and umbrellas, a wide selection of watersports and plenty of beach bars. Ixia offers fantastic views of the coastline of Turkey and across the road from the beach, you'll find most of the resort's bars, restaurants and some of the island's top hotel and apartment complexes.
Ixia is in a perfect spot to reach the Capital of Rhodes and its numerous architectural wonders - all a short bus or taxi ride away. Founded in 408 BC, much of the ancient city (including the famed Colossus of Rhodes) was destroyed by a series of massive earthquakes. Since then, it has been occupied by the Romans, Crusaders and Venetians, and Ottomans and Germans - and each and every 'owner' has added their own touch to the lustre of the incredibly unspoilt city.
As you continue down the coast road, Ixia merges into the neighbouring resort of Trianda, or Ialyssos, which are very similar in character. Head up onto the hills above the old village here to discover the beautifully restored monastery of Filerimos, with stunning views across the Aegean to the mountains of the Turkish coast.
So if you want to be close to all this action, yet prefer to stay in a beach resort rather than in the centre of the town itself, take a look at modern Ixia.

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 permanently closed on June 2, 2014 and was demolished in August 2015.^[2] As of February 2017, the three hotel buildings remain standing, but have not operated since the resort's closure in 2014. The golf course and events center have also been abandoned.

History[edit]

Grand Casino Tunica (1996-2007)[edit]

The casino itself was built in 1996. It was the largest casino between Las Vegas and Atlantic City, featuring a large poker room. The Harrah's Casino Hotel was directly connected to the casino and contained 148 rooms and 40 suites. Two additional hotels were situated along a lake approximately ½ mile away. Complimentary shuttle service ran 24 hours a day to take guests to and from the casino. The Veranda Resort Hotel, which opened in 1996 along with the casino, contained 532 rooms and 36 suites. The largest hotel was the Terrace Hotel & Spa, which opened in 1999 and contained 563 rooms and 37 suites.

Grand Casino Tunica's original owner was Grand Casinos, Inc., headed by Lyle Berman, a pioneer in developing resort-style casinos on Native American reservations and in Mississippi.

In 1998, Berman and Grand Casinos, Inc., sold their Tunica, and Biloxi, Mississippi resorts to the gaming division of Hilton Hotels, with the combined assets being spun off to create a new corporation called Park Place Entertainment (later renamed Caesars Entertainment).

In 2005, Caesars Entertainment was acquired by Harrah's Entertainment, which converted back to the Caesars Entertainment name in 2010. In the Tunica market, Caesars also operates Horseshoe Casino Tunica and Tunica Roadhouse Casino & Hotel (formerly Sheraton). The three properties share management and player marketing operations.

Harrah's Casino Tunica (2007-2014)[edit]

In October 2007, Harrah's officials announced that Grand Casino Tunica would undergo a $45 million renovation of its hotels and casinos, which included the resort being renamed Harrah's Casino Tunica.^[3] In addition, the company announced that the new Harrah's would feature a new buffet bearing the name of Food Network celebrity chef Paula Deen. Paula Deen's Buffet was reported to be the first celebrity chef-branded buffet at an American casino.^[4] It was rebranded in 2013 shortly after she was removed from the food network.^[5]

A Toby Keith's I Love This Bar & Grill owned by Scottsdale, Arizona-based Capri Restaurant Group Enterprises LLC opened in Harrah's in September 2010, replacing the former Replays bar and grill and Murano's Italian Restaurant.

Previous Harrah's Casinos in Tunica[edit]

This is the third casino in Tunica Resorts to bear the name Harrah's. The previous Harrah's Tunica was designed by Steelman Partners. The first was located just off Casino Strip Blvd., several miles south of the former Grand, and was the first casino to open in that area in 1993. In 1996, Harrah's acquired the shuttered Southern Belle Casino, approximately 500 yards (450 m) away from the first Harrah's. The company operated both casinos as Harrah's for a short time, calling the second property 'Harrah's Mardi Gras.' Eventually, Harrah's sold the original property to Isle of Capri Casinos, who operated it as 'Isle of Capri Tunica' for a short time before closing it.

With the sale of Caesars to Harrah's in 2004, the combined companies were forced to sell two properties to avoid owning five of the nine casinos in the Tunica market. Harrah's Mardi Gras was sold, along with Bally's Casino Tunica, to Colony Capital, and Harrah's Mardi Gras was renamed Resorts Casino Tunica.
