Luggage and bags: The usual for any trip.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: During the summer months it's very hot and humid in Ms. you need shorts,swimsuits etc.
But i recomend takeing a few heavier tops or long sleeved shirts.The casino's have the air up full and you may find some areas cool especially in the evening.
