“The opening of Grand Biloxi is the first step in our exciting master plan in the Mississippi Gulf,” said Anthony Sanfilippo, president of Harrah’s Central Division. “Grand is back to the high-quality casino entertainment experience our customers have been looking forward to. We look forward to contributing to the recovery of the Gulf tourism industry and are excited to have our employees back at work.”
Following a year-long renovation, the new land casino has more than 800 slot machines, 28 table games, a 500-room hotel, a 300-seat grand buffet, an Asian cafe, L.B.’s steakhouse and Starbucks coffee shops, and a full-service Bellissimo spa. Grand Biloxi employed about 1,500 employees. About 95 percent of the property’s employees previously worked at former grand properties in Biloxi and Gulfport, as well as Harrah’s Entertainment Mid-South Service Center. 슬롯머신
