Casino Gets Approval

The Grand Biloxi Hotel is now open for business. They have received regulatory approvals and have been able to open their doors. They weren’t sure with Hurricane Gustav on the horizon if everything would go as planned, but the scare turned out to be unfounded.

Visitors to the Biloxi, Mississippi area will be thrilled as it now gives them even more choices as to where to go to play. The Grand Bear Gold Course will be open by Friday and the food, retail stores, and hotel have all already opened.

The casino ended up only losing two days, which is a big help to the financial aspects of the reopening. The Gulf Course has had to deal with a lot of casinos opening and after Hurricane Katrina many were wiped out completely. This opening of the casino gives hope to residents and breathes new life into the area.

They are aware that had Gustav come through, they could have been looking at many other casinos going out of business completely as it just would not have been cost effective for them to try and rebuild. Many casinos are breathing a sigh of relief knowing that they are able to dodge this bullet this time.
