Damages from Hurricane Zeta are repaired and Beau Rivage Resort & Casino in Biloxi will reopen Thursday.

The hotel, casino, shops, spa , salon and pool will open Thursday. Food and beverage operations will be limited to BR Prime, Terrace Cafe, Snack and Roasted Bean.

Golden Nugget Biloxi was one of three Coast casinos that stayed open as Hurricane Zeta blew through Oct. 29, and where people across the country saw Jim Cantore from The Weather Channel broadcasting live as the storm surge flooded into parts of Biloxi.

The day Zeta hit, the Golden Nugget was open along with Island View Casino, while Harrah’s Gulf Coast closed temporarily for clean-up.

All along the Coast, crews removed sand and debris from U.S. 90 and other roads and streets near the casinos.

Palace Casino in Biloxi and Silver Slipper in Hancock County were among those still on emergency power on Oct. 29.

“The casino itself is fine. No structural damage,” said John Ferrucci, Silver Slipper general manager.

Power was restored at Palace Casino on Friday and the casino reopened on Saturday.
