| Phase one of Gulfport's first post-Katrina gaming venue, the Island View Casino Resort, opened on September 18, 2006. Probably the only casino the City of Gulfport will ever allow, the locally-owned property rose from the ruins of the Copa Casino and the Grand Casino Gulfport. Today's Biloxi Sun Herald reported on the opening of the Island View. |

| Harrah's
Grand Casino Biloxi reopened on August 19, 2006. Here's what Mobile, Alabama's
WPMT-TV 15 Online had to say, "It's a grand re-opening for the Grand Casino
Biloxi: one of Hurricane Katrina's casualties is now making a comeback.
Something to celebrate: after almost a year of re-building, more than
1,500 people are now employed there: more than 95 percent of them are
returning workers." |

The Grand
Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi, above, was one of twelve Gulf Coast Casinos
destroyed by Hurricane Katrina on August 29, 2005. The photo shows what
it looked like before the storm. In this picture you can see Beach Boulevard,
it's the highway running from the top left corner to the middle of the
photo's right edge. Everything south of the highway -- toward the viewer
-- is gone. |
