Coast continuing to grow…

Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Biloxi, located overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, is building a new 12-story hotel tower. The expansion – expected to be completed in late 2013 – will be built around the existing pool and will include 140 standard guest rooms and 14 suites with balconies and the rock-and-roll theme typically found at Hard Rock hotels.

Hard Rock has some of the highest hotel rates in the area, so this might create some lower rates. We will have to see.

In addition to live casino gaming and a poker room, Hard Rock Casino Hotel & Casino Biloxi also features five restaurants, a full-service spa and fitness center, and regularly draws big-name concerts and events.

Golf Stay-and-Play packages are offered at the Hard Rock and include accommodations and golf at a number of area courses, including The Bridges, Diamondhead, Grand Bear, Mississippi National, Pass Christian, The Preserve, Shell Landing, Sunkist, The Oaks and Windance.

The rates also include a $10 food credit per day, one drink voucher to the Center Bar, and a Rock Spa Pass that allows access to the fitness room, steam room, sauna and co-ed hot tub.
