Casino's In Biloxi...

_5 February ‘09 Thursday

This morning we left Louisiana and slowly made our way into Mississippi.  We followed the lesser traveled roads all the way.  First we took LA-36 to Slidell, found a tire shop to top off the air in our rear tires, and then headed east on LA-90 on our way to Ocean Springs (which is just outside of Biloxi).  Just as we were to cross into Mississippi on I-90, we found ourselves detoured.  The detour took us onto a very narrow secondary road that had some really old Oak trees that over hung the roadway and made us duck our heads each and every time we came upon one.  After about 10 miles on our detour we ended up coming out to I-607. 607 they took us back to I-90 and we continued our drive down to the blue waters and the white sand of the Gulf Coast.  I-90 travels right at the edge of the white sand as far as we were to travel today.  Just as we saw Biloxi in the distance we pulled into a pull-off and enjoyed a seaside lunch from the dining room of our coach.  One thing about driving the Gulf of Mexico coastline is being able to see the total disaster remains of the past 3 major hurricanes.  From the moment we arrived by ferry onto Galveston Island until now we have seen total destruction all along the coastline.  Everything from trees blown over or torn completely out, to boats that were thrown hundreds of yards inland, houses and commercial buildings leaning or just plain gone, and hundreds of foundations sitting there wondering if there would ever be another home constructed on top.  Finished with lunch we continue on to Biloxi.  As we traveled this coast road through town, we were blown away by all the casinos we had on each side of us.  Now these were more like the casinos of Las Vegas than those that we see alongside the highways we’ve traveled the last few years.  We just were not aware of the interest for major casinos that we found here, but one thing’s for sure, they’re first class establishments and apparently very busy as they are building at least 3 more that is posted to be opening by the end of 2010.
