Owned and operated by the Tunica-Biloxi Tribe, Paragon Casino Resort puts a full getaway under one roof, with more than 500 rooms and suites, an RV resort and cabins, and a gaming floor open around the clock for guests 21 and older. Alligators greet visitors in the Atrium lobby.

Unwind at Spa La Vie, tee off at the 18-hole Tamahka Trails golf course, or choose from several restaurants, from casual bites to a sit-down dinner. Paragon is also a popular event venue, hosting concerts, festivals, expos and golf tournaments throughout the year, plus a three-screen cinema and Kids Quest for families. Check the calendar before you go.
