Grand Casino Hotel & Spa, Biloxi MSAlthough Grand Casino Biloxi sustained major hurricane damage (all of its assets on the south side of Beach Blvd were destroyed, see photos here), it managed to reopen on August 27, 2006 with a land based casino inside its Bayview Hotel tower. Harrah's plans to invest over $1B building a new resort and has purchased the Casino Magic Biloxi property next door. But those plans are on hold due to the economy. Today The Grand consists of a 500 room hotel with a swimming pool and spa, a casino with 800 slots and 35 table games, and four retaurants. While it is much smaller than it once was, Harrah's has really packed a lot of excitement into the casino while retaining a relaxing atmosphere in the hotel and spa. LOCATION
Grand Casino Biloxi is at the west end of Biloxi's Casino Strip; Isle of Capri Casino is two blocks away (Casino Magic, which was next door was destroyed by
the hurricane and no longer exists).
The resort is less than one mile east of I-110 and Beau Rivage on Beach Blvd (US-90).
