Gaming in the Gulf  Stretching 26 miles from east to west, with clear blue waters, pristine beaches, and coastal marshes, is the Mississippi Gulf Coast, where the charm of the Old South and a lesson in human history mingle with modern day excitement and entertainment.Today's neon skyline is vastly different to that of the first settlers to the area, but you can still catch a glimpse of the past as you drive the beach road dotted with gracious homes, or take a walk through time and trace the footsteps of the area's first settlers, the 6'6" tall American Indian Tribe "The Biloxi's". Be sure to visit the many historical sites and learn the colorful history of the first European settlers; how D'Iberville took refuge from rough seas at Ship Island, and John Law enticed German and Swiss settlers to the area with a promise of "instant wealth". How wealthy settlers from New Orleans and Natchez built great mansions creating a need for first class hotels on the beach for family and friends to enjoy and spawning an industry where weary big city dwellers found accommodations of all types and enjoyed the warmth and calm of the gulf coast beaches.  Recognized for its fishing industry, the coastal waters abound with charter vessels offering visitors the greatest variety of salt water sport fishing found anywhere in the world. Be ready to delight your palate with fresh seafood caught daily by local seamen and prepared by local chefs, striving for perfection. Shrimp boats still cast their nets and you can still go down to the marinas in the afternoons to see the days catch, but the seafood business is moving over for the area's newest attraction - Las Vegas style gaming.Since dockside gambling was voted into law, casinos have flourished with their own magical atmosphere into full-service destination resorts offering luxurious accommodations, restaurants, lounges, family fun centers, theaters, and Las Vegas-style entertainment.
