It sure doesn’t seem like 10 years to me, but happy birthday to the Beau Rivage in Biloxi. One of the finest hotel casinos on the coast has been opened 10 years!

Ten years to the day after Beau Rivage Resort and Casino opened in Biloxi on March 16, 1999, the 517 people who have worked there since Day 1 were saluted by the management.

The marquee in front of the resort scrolled the names of all the legacy employees Monday, and inside everyone working the three shifts was treated to a special meal including crab legs, crawfish, shrimp and prime rib.

Beau Rivage cost $800 million to build. It reopened in 2006, one year after Hurricane Katrina and after undergoing $550 million in repairs and renovations. The resort has about 2,300 employees.

“The secret to why we’re so successful is our employees,” said Corchis.

The event is geared towards honoring the employees, but I am sure they will have some promotions or events coming up geared towards the players. Maybe even some special chips, we will post updates here.
