After leaving the Dallas area, we traveled to New Orleans. There we enjoyed a late lunch in the French Quarter, strolled around Bourbon Street and decided we would rather head on to Biloxi than stay for the night in New Orleans.
We were able to find a good deal, at the last minute, on a room at the Beau Rivage, a casino resort. The girls were thrilled to pull up to the opulent extravagance of the 20 something story building right on the gulf! It
was a dramatic difference from all the other hotels we had stayed in along the way.

With all the action of the early evening crowd gathering, bell service to our room and the plush bathroom in our suite, they were loving this place! We took our stuff up, then went down to check out the place. We discovered a shopping wing, restaurants, an arcade and of course, the bling, blinging casino floor (which they could only look at from afar).

All in all, a very exciting place for them to be. We did venture out to the pool area in the morning before taking off. Good thing it was kind of cloudy/drizzly, I am not sure we could have convinced them to leave otherwise! The pool area was huge and over the top with luxury appointments (example: little red flags on the top of the lounge chairs/raise if you need anything!). The pool looked out over the Gulf of Mexico...which is another thing...we did see birds out there, and, on the beach, we found a number of hermit crabs. All very encouraging signs of life, and, no visible (to me) oil spill damage.

Verdict: Biloxi = lovely town, worth a longer visit!
