Biloxi casino plans $100M expansion BILOXI, Miss. (AP) - IP Casino Hotel Spa has announced a $100 million land acquisition and expansion in Biloxi.
This week, IP President and General Manager Jon Lucas told members of the Mississippi Gaming Commission that some the expansion is underway. He said some work will be done behind construction walls so there is minimal disruption to guests.
Lucas said Friday the largest project involves closing the movie theater, probably after July, to make room on the second floor for expanded convention and meeting space.
“That will be the beginning of land-based gaming for us,” said Lucas.
About 900 slots will be located off the casino barge. Fourteen table games will be added and the poker room will move from the third floor.
“We’re working on a master plan that will eventually get us to one level gaming,” Lucas said.
He said the expansion faces the Back Bay and they will take advantage of the views in their new Asian restaurant, Tien, with table-side cooking overlooking the bay.
IP is also remodeling 78 suites and Club IP and expanding its entertainment with a production at Club IP.
Recent land acquisition also allow for expanded parking.
“We have more plans,” Lucas said, and when IP is finished, “we basically will have redone the whole property.”
