Singer Jimmy Buffett was in Biloxi today with Gaming Commission Chairman Jerry St. Pe and fellow commissioners as they unanimously approved new plans for Margaritaville Casino and Restaurant on the north shore of Back Bay.

Groundbreaking should be very soon…

Buffett and his partners, who include Tom Brosig of Biloxi, plan to break ground this coming week. Brosig is no stranger to the local gaming industry, having co-founded Grand Casinos.

No additional changes to the plans…

The new plans call for a casino, restaurant, and entertainment center including an extensive outdoor area that will include a sand beach, bar and marina, Brosig said.
