The Winner Is… Resort-Style Entertainment

I t’s easy to pick a winning combination in Mississippi. Just visit one of the state’s resort casinos. Most offer at least a few

dining options along with gaming, but many

feature fabulous lunch buffets, gourmet

restaurants, luxury accommodations,

spa treatments, golf, tennis and tropical

swimming pools. And some include world-

class entertainment by such performers as

Vince Gill and Aretha Franklin. Just choose a

resort that combines your favorite activities.

Mississippi has more than 30 casinos. The

Gulf Coast, from Biloxi to Bay St. Louis, offers

11, and the long-anticipated opening this

year of Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville Casino

and Restaurant on Biloxi’s Back Bay makes

it an even dozen. More casinos spread up

the Mississippi River, with one in Natchez,

five in Vicksburg, three in Greenville, one

in Lula and nine in Tunica. Two more liven

things up across the state near Philadelphia,

with another not far away near Heidelberg.

Highlights at many resorts include dinner

and a show. Top-name entertainers appear

year-round at The Arena at Golden Moon

Hotel & Casino near Philadelphia in Choctaw.

Before the show, enjoy a mouthwatering

steak or a seafood dish such as blackened

cobia with smoked cheddar grits, lemon crab

beurre blanc and lump crabmeat at the resort’s

signature restaurant, Miko. Steak and seafood

also take a front seat at Jack Binion’s Steak

House in Horseshoe Tunica. After dinner,

watch a headline act in the resort’s main

entertainment venue, Bluesville, or just dance

the evening away at the nightclub PUSH.

At Ameristar Casino Hotel Vicksburg, music

in the Bottleneck Blues Bar complements the

baby back ribs served up in Bourbon’s BBQ

& Steaks. Cut into a piece of prime beef at

Gourmet restaurants, top-name entertainers

and spas make Mississippi’s casino

resorts the perfect choice for a fun vacation.
