Margaritaville Casino construction slowing

It looks like Margaritaville construction will be slowing down. Here is a tidbit from the Sun Herald

Rumors swirling around Biloxi had placed a cloud over the massive construction work adjacent to the Grand Casino Biloxi.

“Over the next few weeks, residents of Biloxi will notice less activity and fewer workers at the Margaritaville work site,” said Marybel Batjer, vice president of communications, in an e-mailed statement. “Rest assured that Harrah’s is NOT canceling the project. We still believe in the Margaritaville concept, and we remain committed to our vision for the property. This is a project that we studied extensively, and we believe that it still has a great potential to benefit the Biloxi market and our company.

I heard this was also in relation to cutting down on overtime pay. They will not have workers around the clock so they can avoid paying high overtime wages. I will keep everyone posted on any updates.
