Biloxi Margaritaville Project On Hold

WLOX has a story on the future of the Biloxi Margaritaville Resort and Casino: Despite delays, Harrah’s boss “very passionate” about Margaritaville

Harrah’s central division president still sees a day when Margaritaville will be an important part of Biloxi’s shoreline. However, John Payne has no idea when that day will be … He doesn’t expect any announcements about when construction will resume for another six to nine months.

“We love the project. We love the location. It’s a matter of what are the new financings for it. And we continue to work on that,” said Payne. “We are passionate about the Margaritaville project.”

The original Margaritaville design included a hotel, a casino, and retail shops all on the south side of Highway 90. Payne wouldn’t say if the project would ever be scaled back.
