The Biloxi Welcome sign is located in the Town Green Park, just across Highway 90 from the Hard Rock Casino (the same park where the Hurricane Katrina Memorial is located). Reportedly, the second most photographed landmark in Biloxi (after the Biloxi Lighthouse), the illuminated Welcome Sign is a reminder of another era - and makes for a great "title shot" in your photo album. :-)

This is an all-in-one resort for the Hard Rocker! Listed on the Hard Rock Rewards website as three distinct locations, I was only able to get credit for two (the Cafe and the Hotel/Casino - the third is Hard Rock Live).
The place is Hard Rock Cafe on steroids - memorabilia is everywhere! The casino is great, and they have a small but very nice poker room (which my husband loved). I can't comment on the rooms, since I haven't stayed there (yet), but I can certainly vouch for the casino and cafe! Staff is very friendly, and the Rock Shops have awesome merchandise - I spent way to much on pins, but then, I usually do... :-)

Right next to the Beau Rivage is the other casino that I found in the area to be a good time - the Hard Rock Hotel. Like the other Hard Rock casinos, this one is loaded with plenty of cool rock and roll memorabilia, and has great music on the casino floor. I spent most of my gambling time here, though I was on the machines as opposed to the tables. Everyone was very friendly - I went to an open table to get a $1 chip for a souvenir, and the dealer was so nice - she pulled out a bunch and looked through them to find the best ones she could. I also had a pleasant conversation with the lady at the players club desk. Self parking is easy to get in and out from. Where I think the Hard Rock in Vegas has a "hip" vibe to it, this place feels a bit more down to earth. A fun place to play!

One real neat bonus of going on the Shrimping Trip was that we got to see a couple of DOLPHINS.
They were following the "Sailfish" in hopes of getting a free meal and so were the seagulls.
The Living Marine Adventure Cruise is about 70 minutes and is navigated in the calm, protected waters between Deer Island and the Biloxi shoreline.
Operates late February through November.
For daily departure times call the number listed below.
Rates: $11.00 Adults

Because the room rates were so cheap we decided to gamble in the casino as well. The downstairs had table games and some slots, while the upstairs room had mostly slots and a few tables (that remain closed as long as the downstairs tables are not completely full).
Downstairs also holds more of the upscale lounges and restaurants. But the upstairs has the more laid back, casual sports book and bar where you can get food most of the night if you get hungry. It also has the breakfast buffet.
The hospitality was wonderful here. While sitting at the same blackjack table for hours I met a few lovely dealers. One couple playing with us for a while had a member card (much like a rewards card) and while playing they earned a free breakfast buffet. And we came away with nothing. So lesson learned: get a players card! Even if you're there for the night only, you never know what the dealers/pit boss will let you have if you ask.
My dad LOVE Vegas and have been many times but found pleasure here at the IP in Biloxi. We'd definitely go back.

Although, there is still lots of construction with rebuilding many of the piers and marina's. The beautiful white sandy beaches are still inviting. It is just so tranquil to stroll along and just take in the beauty that is here and to feel the sandy between your toes. I love that feeling. Yes, the scars are visible, but where there is hope there will always be life!

This statue is located on the property of Beauvoir and it is of Davis and his two sons Joseph and Jim Limber that was added in April of 2010. The other Jefferson Davis statue use to be in the Presidential Library, but thankfully it survived, although everything else was destroyed so they moved this statue to the front to keep watch.
Beauvoir,is a National Historic Landmark, which includes the Jefferson Davis Presidential Library, the restored antebellum home, the Confederate Museum and veterans cemetary on 51 landscaped acres, but most were destroyed during Hurricane Katrina. Yet, most has been rebuilt or in work.
The home was built by James Brown in 1848 a wealthy plantation owner who used it for his summer home. It was passed down to his widow after his death in 1866 and she kept it till 1873 still she could not longer afford it. Sarah Dorsey bought it and named it Beauvoir, French for beautiful view. Then in 1877 Jefferson Davis was looking for a place to rest and write his books. She was family friend so he was invited to stay and write his books. Evenually he fell in love with the place to offer to buy it and she agreed. Sadly she died before the sell was complete, but he she had left it to him anyway. Jefferson died in 1889, and it was passed down to his daughter Winnie who lived in it till her death in 1898. Jefferson's widow Varina sold the property to the Mississippi Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. It was used till 1957. It has been maintained since as a memorial to Jefferson Davis and the Confederate Soldier.
