Biloxi

It's a 90% probability the kid's going to be at Keesler when he turns 21 and since he'll be in tech school, he can't go but a set amount of miles off base.

I figured I'd grab some of his friends (and maybe some of mine to keep me entertained ), pick him up and take them to Biloxi where he can drink legally and give him a few dollars to gamble with.

I don't want to spend a lot of $$$. A decent mid priced hotel would be best. And is there anything else to do in Biloxi besides gamble? I know there are shows there, but aren't they basically the acts that can't make it anywhere else?

I have a feeling it's going to be a very interesting trip.....

Lot of Casinos on the Gulf Coast who make great deals on rooms.

When are you going? We can have an Oprano even on the Mississippi Gulf Coast!!

In July. Probably the weekend of 16-18. I can probably think of 8000 places I'd rather be than Mississippi in the middle of the summer, but that's my thanks for being pregnant during what I consider the hottest summer in GA in recorded history. :P

I'm starting to look around and it SEEMS to not be as bad as I've heard. So many people have referred to it as the Redneck Riviera that I was worried my choices would be between Days Inn and Motel 6 and eating McD's. But the sites I'm finding make it look not half bad. It's always good to have low expectations.

Peaches - I grew up there (in the area anyway) - the Mississippi Gulf Coast is kind of an extension of New Orleans, NOT Alabama (sorry Dan!) - Lots of people from NO have summer places and spend "vacation" time on the Gulf - and theres LOTS to do as well... But your best hotel bet will probably be the casinos, to be honest - but PLENTY of restaurants and stuff to do!

Peaches, if I am in NO at the time, I will definately drive up and come hang out!

The Beau Rivage is nice. I also hear they are building a Hard Rock which should be ready soon. The Grand is also nice.

Thanks Edd and Michael. It's starting to look a little better. Now that I'm looking forward to it, watch him end up somewhere near a small town in Texas, lol! :P

He'll know at the latest in May where he'll be and I'll check back around and see if we can get a group together so I don't spend the whole time with HIS friends.

I had a friend suck there one time. He complained the hookers were few and ugly.

It certainly ain't Vegas!

Bars close early - No strip clubs either....
