Biloxi MS casino report....

[capitalist pig]

Stayed 3 nights (Sun-Tue) at Beau Rivage, the place is nicer than pre Katrina days. Hotel is beautiful, stayed in a Jasmine suite 26th floor, $225 a night, not bad imo for a 900 sq ft suite, seperate bedroom, two bathrooms, 2 hd flat screens, jacuzzi in room, bar,private elevators up from 25th-28th floors etc.

Casino is bigger than pre Katrina, over a 100 table games,2100 slots, most table games were open all nights we were there. Played a lot of blackjack and roulette, tables from $5 and up.

The Cirque show wasnt good imo, wasnt worth the $ to see it. Food was exceptional in the 3 resturants we ate at (kinda pricey though), didnt do the buffet but it looked okay.

Nothing there but old people, Im 48 and felt like a kid in the place.I saw no one say under 30 except maybe employees.

HardRock Hotel/casino was nice, casino isnt near as big as BR, but still was nice. Not very crowded, and all old folks there too.

Biloxi is dead as far as things to do other than gamble, one night maybe two would be plenty. There just isnt anything to do in the daytime, pools/beaches were open, weather was warm, but I live on the beach so no thrill there for me imo.

I always went down to Tunica instead Biloxi, because their is more to offer there.

Tunica was the premier gaming destination in the South even before Katrina BBD, and probably even more so now. Of the two I always preferred Biloxi just because I prefer beaches to plantation fields, and would often just stay in Memphis because the city of Tunica was so racially oppressive and depressing.

Thanks for the report CP. You know how I felt about the Beau's stuffiness even with small timers in the past, but that's great to hear they're back and an even nicer establishment than ever. That room sounds incredible! Very surprised to hear the Hard Rock was a nursing home as well lol. Biloxi's the closest major gaming destination to me now, but I think I'll keep going the extra miles to Philadelphia, MS based on this report. They're just too generous with comps and have too many interesting things in the city to turn down.

Any trip that is profitable is a good trip regardless of location in my eyes. Cheers CP, thanks for the sharing what you saw...
