Gaming Commission South Beach Casino Meeting

April 20th, 2008

Site approval expected to be on June agenda

BILOXI - Mayor A.J. Holloway welcomed the Mississippi Gaming Commission to Biloxi and the Hard Rock Casino on Thursday and said he hopes they will look favorably on the Gold Coast Casino.

Now known as the South Beach Resort and Casino, the project was rezoned waterfront by the Biloxi City Council. The commission will determine if the property on the north side of U.S. 90 on the Biloxi Strip is a suitable casino site.

Chairman Jerry St. Pé responded to Holloway’s remarks by saying the city can count on the commission to be “aggressive visionary partners.” He said the commission would look at the South Beach project “objectively, fairly and thoroughly.”

Experts say Biloxi Casinos should not fear

Because nearly all of the Florida gamblers play at the Coast casinos, those figures would mean one-quarter of the 12,328 people employed at the local casinos would lose their jobs.

Changes at Bacaran Bay Casino

March 25th, 2008

Looks like the new Bacaran Bay Casino in Biloxi Mississippi will be having some changes before construction is completed. They will no longer be offering on-site condos, and it looks like some large management changes have been made.

The article was from WLOX:

BILOXI - The Bacaran Bay casino project on Caillavet Street will be built, without condominiums, and without its creator Marlin Torguson. On Tuesday, members of a newly formed company called the Phoenix Gaming Group confirmed that they now control the Caillavet Street site.

Their plan is to reconfigure Bacaran Bay, refinance it, and move it forward. Whatever the new design looks like, it won’t include condos.  Phoenix Gaming Group spokesman John Ed Ainsworth says the market isn’t right for condos to be part of a casino resort…  Read complete article.

I visited their website and it still looked like they were pushing condos, we will see when it is updated and post here at the Biloxi Blog.bacaran bay casino
