MGM Mirage has announced that the Beau Rivage casino in Biloxi, MI, one of the many in that area destroyed by Hurricane Katrina, will re-open on August 29th of this year, which is the one year anniversary of Katrina's assault on Mississippi. Video of the casino being destroyed can be seen here.
According to pokernews.com the casino's plans include a 40 table poker room. Beau Rivage had a poker room when it initially opened in 1999 but later closed it down, as did casinos all across the nation during the time, in favor of more lucrative slot machines. Welcome back to the fold Beau Rivage.
