Taking
full
advantage
of
the
fact
that
it
had
to
be
renovated
due
to
last
years
devastation
from
the
now
infamous
Hurricane
Katrina,
MGM
Mirage
has
now
and
finally
reopened
its
gem
on
the
Gulf
Coast
at
full
capacity
once
again.
This
was
not
your
typical
rebuilding
either.
Yes,
this
casino
was
one
of
the
least
damaged
of
the
Mississippi
Gulf
Coast
casinos
struck
by
Katrina,
but
it
did
sustain
its
full
share
nonetheless.
This
casino,
the
most
popular
and
largest
in
the
Gulf
area,
took
advantage
of
the
needed
repairs
by
adding
new
and
exciting
touches
throughout
the
casino
resort
property.
You
may
remember
some
of
our
online
gambling
news
reporting
on
this
situation
from
last
year,
now
we
are
only
too
happy
to
finally
be
writing
articles
for
our
online
casino
fans
in a
good
way.
Many
of
the
other
casinos,
some
backed
by
large
gaming
companies
and
some
not
are
still
working
on
their
reopening
process
as
well.
Most
are
operating
under
limited
amenities
and
small
casinos
while
waiting
for
the
rest
of
their
reconstruction
to
be
completed.
The
Beau
Rivage
has
been
in
operation,
but
limited
as
well.
Until
less
than
two
weeks
away
that
is.
By
mixing
new
resort
and
casino
amenities
with
established
casino
player
and
vacationer
guest
favorites,
Beau
Rivage
Resort
&
Casino
will
reopen
in
full
on
the

anniversary
of

Katrina
on
August
29.
Thinking
on
the
lines
of
reinvention
with
a
greater
vision
without
leaving
its

behind,

themselves
surrounded
by
all
they
could
ever
want
in a
Gulf
coast
casino
property.
This
will
not
come
a
day
too
soon
as
more
than
3,800
casino

resort
workers
will
be
getting

to
normal
again.
The
new
grand
opening
will
not
show
us a
totally
new
resort
and
casino
by
any
means,
it
will
still
have
all
the
charm

online
gambling
fans
remember
seeing
as
they
traveled
there
in
the
past.
