Yet, we have managed to preserve the culture and history that has made the Delta the birthplace of the blues while maintaining acre upon acre of the nation's richest farmland. This astonishing wonder is a result of Mississippi's fundamentally different way of legislating casino gaming. The state moved to permit casino gaming in 1990 and took a remarkably different approach than most other states that allow some forms of casino wagering as a way to generate tourism revenues and taxes. Some states impose crushing tax burdens, limit player-wagering amounts, and severely restrict operating hours. Additional restrictions have included states limiting their casinos to Indian reservations or imposing a limit on the number of casinos that may be opened in an area.
Pure competition decides the success or failure of a casino.
The free market has encouraged major investments in the construction of bigger and better facilities with all of the latest amenities to provide a significantly better product for the visitor. There are ten casino properties and nine independent hotel properties with over 6,000 new hotel rooms and suites. In addition, there is plenty meeting, convention or event space throughout the resort destination. Ten resort properties collectively offer 120,000 square feet of flexible meeting space for groups up to 1,600 with individual meeting facilities up to 40,000 square feet. Every staff member has been well trained and will be ready to satisfy your every desire with true southern hospitality.
