IP Casino Resort Spa
850 Bayview Ave, Biloxi, MS 39530
IP Casino Resort Spa sits on the Back Bay side of Biloxi, a few blocks off the beach strip, where the crowd skews a little quieter than the big Gulf-front resorts. Boyd Gaming runs a 70,000-square-foot floor here — over 1,100 slots, 45 table games, a 10-table poker room — under a 32-story hotel tower with an 11th-floor pool. Studio A pulls in national touring acts most weekends, and the buffet turns to seafood Thursday through Sunday.
Getting There
Take I-10 to I-110 south and get off at Exit 1D, right after the highway crosses Back Bay — the ramp feeds straight onto Bayview Avenue. Turn left, follow it to Caillavet Street, and the parking garage signs pick you up from there. That's the trade-off with IP: it's not on the beachfront strip with Beau Rivage and Hard Rock, so you won't be crossing Highway 90 traffic to reach the sand, but you also won't be steps from it. Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport is about 14.5 miles away, roughly a 25-minute drive depending on the Popp's Ferry Road backup at rush hour.
On the Casino Floor
The gaming floor runs 70,000 square feet across three levels, with more than 1,100 slot and video poker machines in denominations from a penny up to $500 for the high rollers. Table games number 45 — blackjack, craps, roulette, three and four-card poker, Let It Ride, Pai Gow, plus a couple of baccarat variants for players who want something other than blackjack. The poker room holds 10 tables, runs non-smoking, and spreads tournaments daily rather than just on weekends. Serious players should ask about the high-limit room off to the side, where the machines start at higher denominations and the blackjack minimums climb accordingly.
Dining & Entertainment
Six restaurants cover the range here. thirty-two is the AAA Four Diamond steakhouse, worth the splurge for an anniversary dinner; tien handles upscale Asian — Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Thai dishes under one AAA Three Diamond roof. Back Bay Buffet runs breakfast through dinner daily and switches to a seafood spread Thursday through Sunday nights, while Bayview Café covers the 2 a.m. craving. For a night out, Studio A books national touring acts and comedians in the Gulf Coast's biggest showroom, Chill Ultra Lounge keeps the 11th-floor pool deck going after dark, and thirty-two Lounge does cocktails with live music most weekends.
Our Take
IP earns steady four-out-of-five marks from guests, and the reasons show up consistently: a well-kept floor, staff who actually walk the aisles wiping down machines, and that 11th-floor pool view guests keep bringing up unprompted. The knock is inconsistency — a room that hasn't been redone in a while, a slow night at one of the restaurants, parking that fills up faster than the garage signs suggest during a big Studio A show. Book here if you want a genuine casino resort with a serious poker room and don't need to be steps from the sand. Skip it if beachfront access is the whole point of your trip — Beau Rivage and Hard Rock sit closer to Highway 90 for that.
