This datasheet will focus on the Bay St. Louis area through Biloxi, Mississippi portion of the Gulf Coast of the US state of Mississippi. This metro area has about 400,000 people.
Known as one of the deep south's casino destinations only an hour drive away from New Orleans (the other being Tunica, Mississippi), the Mississippi Gulf Coast offers lots of options for casino gaming. These casinos also happen to be where a lot of the better partying spots are located as well. There is also a yellow sand beach throughout the entire coast, where these casino resorts are located.
Accommodations:
Beau Rivage - High-end casino resort located on the beach in Biloxi, MS.
Hard Rock - Similar to all Hard Rock casinos and located on the beach not far from Beau Rivage.
Grand Casino Biloxi - A casino resort on the beach farther east.
IP Casino - Not on the beach but is a nice lower-stakes casino.
New Orleans hotels, then drive east an hour or so.
Daygame:
Beach game here is more or less family/couples oriented. There are some events, however, that are worth a visit. There's a mall on the beach as well where people stock up on items then go across the street. Some talent exists there. Each Sunday at the Hard Rock Cafe, there is a segment called, "Detox," where everyone is drinking and partying at the pool. 21+ The bad part is that it ends at 6:00 pm and it is on a Sunday.
The other event is Black Beach Spring Break each April. Think Memorial Day Miami but with way less expensive cars and fatter women (Mississippi is the fattest state per capita in the US, haha). If you are not into that scene, then don't knock it just because. I don't think it is bad and is worth a visit.
Nightlife:
Beau Rivage - There's a club on the interior where live bands oftentimes cover American classics, otherwise they would play top40. This is a place where I have met Russian models who were there for promotions. This is a place where the majority of women are tourists. If you set your logisitics right, you should be able to pull something to the room since it is all in one building. High-end restaurants are in the interior as well.
Overall, this is a casino destination with considerably less to offer than a Vegas or Atlantic City. I think it is worth a night or two if you are on an extended vacay in New Orleans and are longing for the beach.
