In the heart of the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Harrah's pairs casino gaming with fine dining, a Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course, and a full-service spa. The 500-room hotel includes a 16,000-square-foot spa and salon, a fitness center, and an outdoor resort-style pool with cabanas.
Getting There
Harrah's Gulf Coast sits right on Beach Blvd in downtown Biloxi, its casino floor and pool deck facing the Mississippi Sound. The address puts you a few minutes from the Biloxi Lighthouse and an easy six-minute walk from the Ohr-O'Keefe Museum of Art, so you can leave the car parked for most of a day trip. Beach Blvd runs the length of the coast here, which means the drive in from I-110 is short and the beach itself is directly across the street. Valet parking is available if you'd rather skip circling for a spot.
Rooms & Amenities
The 406 rooms lean modern-casino-resort rather than boutique, and the real draw is what surrounds them. Magnolia House handles the steak-and-seafood dinner crowd, while The Blind Tiger Biloxi Beach, under chef Thomas Genin, sits across the street with a wraparound deck built for watching the sun drop over the water. Golfers get access to Grand Bear, a Jack Nicklaus Signature course a short drive north in Saucier, which is a legitimate reason to add a day to the trip. Bellissimo Salon & Spa covers the fitness center and treatments, the beachfront pool has its own daiquiri bar in the Purple Zebra, and between Caesars Sportsbook and the 406 Club there's enough going on that you don't have to leave the property to fill an evening.
What's Nearby
The Ohr-O'Keefe Museum of Art, Frank Gehry's stainless-steel-clad tribute to Biloxi's "mad potter," is a six-minute walk away and worth the detour even if you're not usually a museum person. Biloxi Lighthouse is about eight-tenths of a mile down Beach Blvd, an easy stroll at sunset. For breakfast, the Pancake House is four-tenths of a mile, a local standby, not a chain. Mary Mahoney's Old French House, the city's best-known spot for Creole and seafood in a 200-year-old building, is 1.2 miles away and worth booking ahead for dinner. Paradise Pier Fun Park is close enough for a quick stop if you've got kids in tow.
Our Take
Reviewers are split, and both sides have a point. People who land in a recently updated room call it clean and comfortable, with housekeeping described as genuinely friendly; people who don't get so lucky complain about worn carpet and rooms that feel more budget than four-star. The golf, the spa, and Magnolia House get consistently good marks, so it's really the standard guest rooms dragging the average down. Ask about a renovated room when you book, and you'll likely leave happy.
