One of the spacious rooms |
Beau Rivage in Biloxi, Mississippi is a city within a city.
Whether you want to pull
the slot leaver, flip a blackjack card or play high stakes poker, The
Beau Rivage Resort & Casino can accommodate you. In fact, even if you
have no interest in gaming, you can shop, swim, surf or pool, get a
massage or loll in a spa, dock at the marina or dine, be it snack or
elegant cuisine, the Beau Rivage can accommodate travelers of any
stripe. It fits anyone to a "T."
The
rooms are bright and airy and so cozy. If you are feeling flush, you can
upgrade to an even more lustrous experience, one of their suites.
However either way, you will be coddled and welcomed.

BR Prime |
Even if you never venture
out of the resort, you won't lack for a fun dining experience. There are
twelve restaurants, five lounges, an elevated cafe and bar. my pick of
the lot is the BR Prime, the resort's finest steakhouse. They boast
"Enough swank to make the Rat Pack proud" and they aren't kidding. Food
is superb, drinks are icy and delicious and service is first rate.
Jia
is their other fine dining restaurant. It offers a pan-Asian experience
with the best foods from Japan,
Thailand, China, Korea and Vietnam. Two hard choices. I recommend
stay9ng long enough to enjoy both.
For just snacks or a quick bite, you will find
the airy and bright Terrace Caf� in the atrium lobby . Or you can get
down and dirty in the Memphis Q where you can experience authentic
southern barbeque amidst blues memorabilia and music.

What a pool! |
If you hadn't pigged out
enough yet, you will enjoy breakfast
at their buffet which offers everything from crawfish to omelets and
anything else you might want for breakfast. Lunch and dinner there are
just as huge.
If
hunger strikes while you are in the casino, never fear, Snacks is right
there to offer you a quick bite. To grant equal right to the pool
loungers, you can find the Pool Bar and Cafe deck side. When you need a
sweet treat or fast pick up visit Roast Bean for a steaming cuppa java
or wrap your tongue around some sin-sational ice cream at Scoops.
Of
course, like any good city there are lots of other things to do. You can
get pampered at eh spa, enjoy a round of golf on the Fallen Oak Course
or get a makeover at the salon after a wet day at the pool. Should you
forget anything or just want something new, shopping is raised to an art
here.

The fitness center |
and the spa |
Young visitors are not ignored. The arcade offers a fantastic array of
electronic wizardry that would enthrall even Harry Potter.

The entire place is filled with beauty |
The night life in this
quasi- town is out of this world. It ranges from acts like the Beach
Boys to Vince Gill. Whatever your musical style, you will find an act to
please you there in any given month. The 1,500 seat and
state-of-the-art sound and lighting system theater, will provide the
best possible experience for you. It's not just limited to musicians,
Dance reviews, comedians and other big names grace the stage.
Of course, most folks want to experience a bit of
Vegas on the Gulf and try their hand at a game of chance. Be it
Baccarat, Blackjack, Craps, Roulette or a deluxe Poker Room,
cards are king here. Slots are not neglected with over 2,000 slot
machines of all kinds. If you are a high roller there is even a high
stakes rook especially for you.
You can while, or wild, away the night in the
Coast Lounge. This fun spot has a split personality. It's a easy going
sports bar/restaurant by day but when the sun goes down, Coast lets
loose its most swinging self. Day or night , you can't miss at the
Beau Rivage.
