BILOXI, Miss. – Three of Mississippi’s battered Gulf Coast casinos are
expected to reopen by the end of the year.
The Imperial Palace, the Isle of Capri and the Palace Casino have all
announced reopening dates in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. The powerful storm,
which struck August 29th, damaged or destroyed most of the 12 coast casinos and
a 13th that was about to open.
The Imperial Palace is currently advertising its new look and new offerings
with the image of a wrapped and ribboned present. The casino reopens on December
20th.
The Imperial’s reopening will be followed by the Isle of Capri on December
26th and the Palace Casino’s reopening on December 30th.
The Isle of Capri is putting its casino inside its new hotel tower, while the
Palace’s initial operation will be smaller than it was before Hurricane
Katrina.
The Imperial Palace Casino will increase its slot machines from
one-thousand-400 to one-thousand-900, its table games from 36 to 52 and will add
a 16-table poker room.
It will also have a new buffet, steak and seafood restaurant, and renovated
guest rooms.
