Biloxi in a travel magazine

Good news for Biloxi and the Biloxi Tourist Industry. Biloxi is going to be in a two page article in the March issue of Budget Travel magazine.

According to the Sun Hearld the article will include photos of the Ohr-O’Keefe Museum of Art pod pavilion on the beach along with the casino strip, Mary Mahoney’s, Emeril’s Gulf Coast Fish House and Hard Rock Casino. They’ll learn the Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport has more direct flights now than before Katrina, and that the Biloxi Bay Bridge again connects Biloxi with the live-music bars in Ocean Springs like the Julep Room Lounge.

Budget Travel is a popular magazine and this will be good exposure for Biloxi. I just went over to the Budget Travel Magazine website (BudgetTravel.com) and it looks like they post their current issue online for everyone to read. We will have to check again at the begining of March to fully verify.

Hard Rock Casino Bilox comes through

The Hard Rock Casino in Biloxi made an amazing donation to Biloxi high school program. They gave the gift of 20 new guitars.

What else was pretty cool was that Todd Harrell with the group 3 Doors Down accompanied the Hard Rock crew.

So next time you are at the Hard Rock Casino in Biloxi, playing blackjack, roulette, slots, or other games and you are mad about losing, just remember they are giving some back to the local community.

Good job Hard Rock!
