Southland Casino Hotel, West Memphis

We fid NOT go into the Casino. We did stay overnight in the semi parking lot. The lot is patrolled throughout the night. If you have a camper the security may give you better parking at the front of the casino. We were unable to go to the front, because we had a dog.

Decided to try the new hotel at Southland while coming home from a driving vacation. Hotel is almost brand new and is a very nice property. Rooms comfy and quiet. Ate at the restaurant next to the coffee shop on the way to the casino - if you like down home cooking this is the place! There were 3 in our party and we all had different entrees, it was tough to pick a favorite as the food was uniformly excellent. Everyone we dealt with, from security to valet to front desk to restaurant staff was polite, professional and well trained. My mother in law is a retired Marriott GM so her standards are pretty high and she was very impressed. Casino also looked recently refreshed and was all non smoking (thank you). It’s aggravating that the cheapest blackjack table is $15, but that seems to be the norm in Arkansas. This was just an overnight stop in the way home but this would be a good place to settle for a long weekend in Memphis.
