Reports I’ve read state that Harrah’s has plans to reopen the Grand Casino Biloxi this summer, in a move that will put 1,000 people back to work. Reopening the casino is the first phase of what’s planned as a destination resort on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
The project’s scope involves rebuilding all of the hotel’s land-based facilities in addition to the casino. The Bayview Hotel tower and convention center are slated to be redesigned and integrated into a new casino and 500-room hotel that will feature a steakhouse, 300-seat buffet, swimming pool, and a 16,000-square-foot full-service spa.
While this won’t bring life back to normal on the flood ravaged Mississippi Gulf, it’s a big step in the right direction.
