With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy everything that Philadelphia, 20 miles away, has to offer. See the sights beginning with Silver Star Casino, Pearl River Resort and Golden Moon Casino. Don’t forget about Kosciusko either! Just 25 miles away, Oprah Winfrey Road, Mary-Ricks Thornton Cultural Center and Attala County Courthouse are non-negotiable stops here.
