Developers are proposing a new casino on the west end of Mississippi’s Gulf Coast, as an existing nearby casino plans an expansion.
Casino Mississippi Gulf Coast
Cure Land Co. gave notice in a Wednesday legal ad that it is seeking Mississippi Gaming Commission approval for a casino site in Clermont Harbor. That's an area of Hancock County west of Waveland, but east of the existing Silver Slipper Casino in Lakeshore.
The legal ad proposes a casino with 300 hotel rooms and 1,100 slot machines.
The Mississippi Gulf Coast is poised to welcome a new entertainment concept know as William Sackett’s Dance Time USA. These weekly events will feature a live Orchestra, ballroom dancing and a continuing dance competition, hosted by the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in their “Hard Rock Live” venue.
Site approval is the first step in getting permission to build a casino in Mississippi. The Gaming Commission would later have to grant a license.
Silver Slipper General Manager John Ferrucci tells the Sun Herald his casino is planning a second hotel tower and convention center to accommodate expanding business.
