Imagine a place with nice sandy beaches, hospitable local people, colorful regional culture and top notch golf, entertainment, and dining. And of course, don’t forget the eleven world-class casino resorts.
If you’re thinking Atlantic City, think warmer. If you’re thinking Chicago, think less “windy” and more “breezy.” If you drive about 900 miles directly south from Chicago’s shores of Lake Michigan, you will hit another set of shores: the Gulf of Mexico. It’s there, near the coastal town of Biloxi, MS, that you will find the Las Vegas of the Deep South, a small community built around gambling and entertainment that generates about $1 billion in annual gaming revenue.
