Grand Biloxi Casino Hotel and Spa is the name of a gambling establishment in
Biloxi,
Mississippi. It was owned and operated by
Harrah's Entertainment.
This facility replaces the former Grand Casino Biloxi, which was destroyed by
Hurricane Katrina. At the time, the casino offered a casino, a 975-room hotel, and a
convention center.
History
Prior to 2005 this casino was a
Caesars Entertainment property. After the ownership change to
Harrah's Entertainment it was announced that this casino was being converted to the Horseshoe brand. But these plans were put on hold when Biloxi and the
Gulf Coast were hit by Hurricane Katrina. The storm destroyed the barge on which the casino floor was located; the
storm surge swept the barge from the shoreline all the way across Beach Boulevard, nearly inward. On
May 21,
2006, demolition crews finally imploded the hotel structure, leaving Harrah's with a clean slate for rebuilding.
After Katrina, the company announced that that'll be re-opening the facility during Summer 2006, with a casino, a spa, and other amenities, but the area on which the hotel was located will take several years to complete. On
August 17,
2006, the first phase of the rebuilding opened with a 495-room hotel and a new land-based casino.
The long-term plan for this property is to construct what they're calling "a destination resort." Part of the expansion plans revolve around Harrah's purchase of the 18 acres that comprised the neighboring Casino Magic property.
ref In May 2007, Harrah's announced the
Margaritaville Casino and Resort will be built on the site.
