Managers of the 12 casinos in Biloxi and across South Mississippi are accustomed to dealing with tropical weather, but not the inches of snow and ice forecast to fall on Tuesday.
While most casinos will be open, in part since they have hotel guests, some of the casinos will close their restaurants and other amenities.
They include:
Palace Casino Resort is closed Tuesday and will remain closed on Wednesday. Limited restaurant service is available only for hotel guests. The casino, sports book, gift shop and other restaurants will be closed until Thursday at 8 AM.
“The snowfall and predicted drop in temperature tomorrow will make roads and bridges dangerous,” said Keith Crosby, general manager.
Boomtown Biloxi is closed and will reopen Wednesday at noon.
Scarlet Pearl Casino will continue to stay closed on Wednesday, and reopen at noon on Thursday.
“We can’t wait to welcome our guests back to Scarlet Pearl Casino Resort with fully operational gaming, restaurants and boutique,” the casino said in a press release.
