Absolutely no rock 'n' roll tour. The south would be complete without a visit to this spot…read more The B.B. King story is one that starts very humbly and ends with a life that many of us enjoyed from afar. At this location, you'll have the opportunity to learn that history, to see his guitars, and to purchase souvenirs. You'll also get the chance to see his gravesite. This is a very humble down to earth presentation and worthy of your careful consideration. It's off the beaten path and so you'll have to plan to get here, but it's worth it.

LOVE LOVE LOVE Indianola, Mississippi. Both dead now, my other grandparents are from a small town…read morehere, in Mississippi, so I grew up round these parts. We always loved it here, still do. So many amazing childhood memories.. the food, the people, the music.. When we visited my grandparents we alway went fishing & we always listened to Jazz. I grew up listening to local New Orleans Jazz & local blues musicians like the "King of the Blues" BB King. All the jazz greats like; Louie Armstrong, Billy Holiday, Albert King, Freddie King, Arron Neville etc., I have every Nina Simone album ever made & LOVE LOVE LOVE Tab Benoit ohmygosh so so many greats from the river delta down to New Orleans. That's why they call it the "legendary Blues Highway" from Nashville, Tennessee to New Orleans, Louisiana. It is a actual Route, highway 61 between Memphis & Vicksburg, just gorgeous. On this "legendary Blues Highway" you will find the beautiful southern town of Indianola, where the BB King Museum is located. BB King was born September 16, 1925, on a cotton plantation in Itta Bena, Mississippi, near Indianola. He started playing guitar in the church & went on to produce over 50 albums, which I have all of them. The BB King museum is a must visit. It is an interactive museum where you can listen to his music & learn about his life in the river delta, the jute joints he used to play on the "blues highway" from Memphis to New Orleans. And you can see his trademark black guitars "lucille" all over town. They even have one out front showcased in the garden. BB King is also laid to rest there, you can visit his burial right on site. "The thrill is gone" was one of his best, however, the thrill of his guitar playing, his legendary music will live on & on.. The thrill of BB King for moi, will never ever be gone, there isn't a day that goes by i'm not streaming jazz, Blues & BB King all day long every day, in my car, in my house, when I ride my bike, hang in the garden, on the beach, on the lake, in the swamp, on the bayou, doesn't matter where I am, I always got the down home blues & jazz tunes blasting. Always singing the blues, the muddy water blues. Long live the King, BB King, "King of the Blues" forever. Legend. Highest Recommendations.

Maybe I'm used to Laughlin or Vegas but we were pretty disappointed. Only 3 or 4 video poker…read moremachines and all were broken except one. Lots of penny slots which is cool though. Very smoky and the employees were unfriendly. Even with the disappointment of it not being what we were used to, it is a pretty cool little casino on the water's edge and perfect for tourists or those locals wanting to get their gaming fix. There was a cool sports page area and plenty of large hype machines, video blackjack and roulette. Helping to realize that you are at the banks of the Mighty Mississippi, we thought it was interesting to see that half the parking lot was under water. For us Californians, that was picture worthy. Would check it out again just for some fun. CHEERS!!

This is the only casino that is down town Greenville now. It looks fairly new too. Now, there is…read moreanother casino outside of Greenville just before you cross the Mississippi River Bridge into Arkansas called Harlows Casino. All other casinos have closed such as Lighthouse Casino and etc. Story: I had no plans of going to a casino today. I just came up on this by coincidence or accident however, you want to put it. As a matter of fact I had no plans of going to Greenville today. But, I'm glad I did as will soon find out. So, I saw this casino and decided to find a parking place. I decided to spend only a$40 budget and go home. I found a 25 cent machine and lost $20. Then, I found a $1 machine and put $20 in. The results, I won $300. I played 3 credits each and with only about $8 left I hit triple 777 with 3 credits played, thus $300. Please check out the 2 photos of my lucky play at the slots. Final thought: I was here no more than 10 minutes total and I'm walking out with about $300 extra in my pocket. Thanks Trop Casino Greenville.

The museum isn't large, so you can easily enjoy your visit within an hr. The clerk located in the museum will glady give you some information aslo, the fee is $7.00. Mr Pat Thomas a blues legend musician gave us some history and played a little blues for us! He really did a great job, enjoy to the fullest. You can also purchase his CD if available, he will sign for you. His father also a legend is recognized with a blues marker along the trail. I will be visiting MS yrly from now on, there is so much history and I enjoy the music. I highly recommend this area, the people were all welcoming and its a way to venture out and learn something new!

It is small, just one room stuffed full of Kermit (and Miss Piggy) memorabilia. You can also see a guest book signed by people from all over the world. The lady who runs the museum and adjacent gift shop was very nice. There is plenty of free parking right in front. During Covid, numbers of visitors are limited (to 5 or one family at a time) but it wasn't busy when we visited, so there was no wait.
