Biloxi, MS - The Vegas Of The Gulf Coast - Driving Tour

[@TurquoiseRhino]

My son lives in Biloxi a block from the beach. We live about 30 minutes away east. You definitely can’t surf in Biloxi and the water is brown because of the barrier islands. Locals don’t swim in it. It’s a man made beach, sand trucked in. A lot of casinos have shutdown or destroyed because of Hurricane Katrina. I personally hate the casinos but go there rarely to eat at one of their restaurants like Ruth’s Chris in the Hard Rock. Biloxi has changed a lot over the years and has a rich history. There was very little on the beach when we moved to the Coast in 1975.

Im 69 and my Father was born in Biloxi so I have traveled to Biloxi since I was a small boy , it has changed so much since then . I took my Father and Mother to Biloxi for the last time before his death, he wanted to see Biloxi one time , so this video brings back many memories.

[@DougDownDetecting]

Very happy memories of there and Ocean Springs. Will certainly love to go back at some point.

[@kingfish4242]

It's my hometown and I can also say the food from local restaurants is a lot better than you'll find in Las Vegas. Tne Ms. Coast cuisine is basically the same as New Orleans

[@boogitybear2283]

And it’s actually cheaper than New Orleans!

[@psalms27sneadspd46]

Nice town. Hoping to take a weekend getaway right there.

[@Darian2000]

Biloxi must be a clean but small town. Without the casinos & the beach it'd be a country town. How hot does it get Mississippi? As hot as Texas & Florida?

[@doracanales7784]

​@@Darian2000 Yes, just as hot!

[@arcadeclawpro2851]

I will be looking forward to visiting Mississippi once again. After all, I have not been to Mississippi since I was 13 (since 2005, of course).

[@myrnaparjani1910]

Love it there, used to go over to visit from Niceville, FL a fun place and beautiful.

[@mr_gamble_good]

I stayed at the Golden Nugget back in 2014. Biloxi is beautiful. I can't wait to go back.

[@andreaharris4683]

Staying there ins July

[@boogitybear2283]

I lost a total of 2 grand on the Mississippi Coast this month, but I was actually okay with it. I rather they get my money than Las Vegas! After Katrina, they deserve every bit of money coming their way!

[@robertmobley7678]

The Harrah's casino is what is left of the grad casino which Katrina destroyed in 2005. The main part was on the beach side and was a Casino that ranked with Beau Rivage casino. The section that you went by on Howard Ave (brick road) is where the old Barq's root beer building use to be and where the blues club "Ground Zero" and is co-owned by Morgan Freeman. when you go to Biloxi, you need to research the old Biloxi history, Biloxi once was a place filled with shrimp factory's like DeJean's (My wife worked there when she was 19 years old) and was located on the beach side of Hwy 90, across from St. Michael's church that had a roof like a big shell.

[@robertranger6612]

I don’t know if anyone noticed the traffic is nothing like Vegas. Parking is free everywhere. The food is excellent and lower cost than those Vegas joints

[@bill360]

Nicely put. Going there next month. Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated 😁

I have an AirBnb in Biloxi where elvis visited and dated June Juanico in 1956.

[@Koakoa45]

The Mississippi Gulf Coast is actually the 2nd largest gambling area in USA behind Las Vegas with 15 casinos and more on the way. Fun watching you drive by casinos where people I know work. Biloxi is my hometown! The small houses that look all poor and run down sell for like $275,000 - $1,000,000. Biloxi is not a cheap place to live. Yes you can rent a house for like $5,000 a month probably. Or if you move here a nice 2 bedroom apartment is like $1,500 a month. Biloxi also stretched north of the Back Bay.

[@doracanales7784]

We stay at the Beau Rivage. It 's like walking in to a Vegas Casino. Beautiful! P.S. if you go, try Caroline's, the new seafood rst. Was amazing!

[@kathypullis816]

I'm a native here and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world ❤ NEXT time you're in town, look me up for the grand tour !😊

[@bill360]

Going there next month, we'd love to have a grand Tour

[@dallaskelley1]

I moved away 2 years ago and moved back to the PNW but I gotta say I miss it there and want to move back

[@donavanjohnson409]

I would visit Biloxi MS

[@GAURAV25855ify]

Despite being the poorest state in the country they got all those casinos

[@bill360]

​@@GAURAV25855ifyhow ironic

[@denniskoller5662]

Are there any remaining traces of damage from former hurricanes that have hit Biloxi from Camille and forward?

[@BigPlaya50]

Probably Katrina

[@DaveMustang74]

There are ghosts everywhere, especially on the beach. Before Katrina, there was much more development along the shore. Camille was before my time, but yeah, there are still reminders from her, too. Mother Nature is powerful.

When the sun goes down, that when I like to walk the beach..

And I'll bet that a drink at a hotel in Biloxi doesn't cost $37. No joke. A friend was just in Vegas last week.

[@doracanales7784]

I've never paid for a drink in Vegas. As long as your gambling, the drinks are comped!

[@DaveMustang74]

As long as your giving them money, they'll give you drinks for free. It helps make you keep giving them money. Thankfully, we don't suffer from Vegas type prices on anything, really.

[@StevenKHarrison]

Once you get away from the cleaned up tourist areas you will find extreme poverty everywhere. It has one of the highest infant mortality rates, highest crime rates, and some of the least educated people in the country. This video has little to do with the reality that is Mississippi, the state slave owners sold their most difficult and dangerous slaves as punishment. Enjoy your vacation from reality.

[@andreaharris4683]

That's every single place that has a tourist area. Show me ONE that's doesn't.
