Biloxi's Beau Rivage Resort & Casino continues to offers its guests the best in southern hospitality and customer service. The tallest and largest building in Mississippi at 32 floors opened in 1999 to overflowing crowds eager to see the Gulf Coast's latest luxury beacon. But Hurricane Katrina's record setting thirty-foot storm surge closed the Beau Rivage's doors for a year
But the Beau Rivage reopened, bigger and better than before, on August 29, 2006, the first anniversary of the mighty storm, and the Beau Rivage tower became a beacon of hope for the region with its fast rebuild and renovation. It is the largest AAA Four Diamond Award winning resort in the Southeast.
The hotel's 1,710 guest rooms include 95 luxury suites with spectacular views of the Gulf and river. All hotel guest accommodations come with a long list of enhanced amenities demanded of Four Diamond Award properties.
How's the food, you ask? What would you expect from a Four Diamond Resort located on the Gulf Coast, other than the very best? BR Prime was designed for those seeking one of life's memorable meals. Adventurous diners can take a culinary trip through the Orient with an evening at Jia Pan-Asian Cuisine.
Big appetites should go directly to The Buffet, southern style BBQ or mosey on over to Memphis Q for smoked meats and catfish. Every casino needs a 24-hour eatery and the Coast Restaurant is much more than a coffee shop. Round out the offerings with Snacks for fast snacks, Roasted Bean for coffees, and Scoops for scoopings of ice cream treats.
Beau Rivage opened the Tom Fazio-designed Fallen Oak golf course in November 2006. But when the sun goes down and the links are dark, head for the Beau Rivage Theatre for big names in a more intimate setting, Headliners for the biggest headliners in entertainment or the Coast Nightclub for the latest in night life. EIGHT75 offers a night of excitement at one of the country's top-100 nightclubs.
Beau Rivage's casino offers 2,100 slot machines, 230 video poker machines, and 93 table games in an 85,000 square foot casino. There's also a 16 table poker room and that's where we're going.
