the lobby is beautiful and the remodel is complete...service is good as always...enjoy the non-smoking atmosphere and some great bars and restaurants! Best place to stay and gamble in Biloxi!

My friends and I spent a weekend in Biloxi to gamble, drink and have an all around good time. The Palace Casino Resort was probably the place we spent the most time gambling on our first night because of its smoke-free atmosphere which is welcome and not common in Biloxi. The interior and exterior make it a very posh-looking place and the service was superior to all of the other hotels. The casino wait staff seems to have smaller areas than the other casinos and as such, their waitresses provided the best service - drinks were made correctly, delivered to each person without hesitation and perhaps most importantly, were delivered and replenished the fastest out of all the casinos in Biloxi. This is literally the only casino in the world where I had on multiple occasions throughout multiple parts of the tables actually had to turn down a waitress because mine and the rest of my party's drinks were still yet to be consumed.

As far as the tables go - getting a seat at any one of them was not a problem on a friday night; we played roulette, craps, and blackjack. Additionally, their minimum bets were the lowest in all of Biloxi (plenty of $5 tables, compared to the $10-$20 tables at most other casinos in Biloxi). The folks working the tables were friendly, but I'm not sure they were the best - once or twice our party experienced a miscount of our chips and at some tables, I felt like we were a little unwelcome from the staff as we weren't part of their "regulars" or something.

All in all though, a good experience gambling.

Our room was very spacious with a view of the water. No desk so I turned a settee around and put my computer on a wide window sill to work. Hotels don't heat their pools in the winter, so anyone wanting to swim in an outdoor pool might as well forget that idea. The buffet looked terrific, but the food wasn't as good as it looked (except the desserts were great). It is a CASINO resort, so it isn't a fancy place because of winners!!!!

I am a Beau Rivage transplant. I have always stayed at the BR however they decided to price gouge on their rooms this past weekend due to the traffic going back to Alabama after the Championship Game in New Orleans. The Palace didn't change their rates so we took a shot. My wife and I enjoyed this hotel so much more then we could have ever imagined! It is clean from top to bottom. We were happy to see it was smoke free as my wife will usually leave and go hide in the room, however she stuck around and played slots and pai gow with me. The casino is just the right size that you can get lost but not feel overwhelmed with missing any part of the building.

The staff was wonderful!!!! They are all very nice and even offered to extend our check out time for us to avoid the storm on the way home to Texas.

If you are a sport bar lover then you have to see this sports bar!!! They did not hold back on creating this restaurant! You will not miss any part of the game as they have such a unique layout with the tv's and have a huge projector HD tv in the middle of the room which is very clear and made watching the National Championship that much more enjoyable. They do not price gauge you on drinks while sitting there and the chairs and layout are so comfortable that you want to actually just relax and not even worry about anything else. I was glad we drove through on the same night the game was on so I could experience this. I grew up watching big games in sports bars in Houston and this place was an A++++!

The buffet was PHENOMENAL!!! You can eat every craving that you have had over the past year. They have something for everyone and they allow you to even create your own dish at the grill. The food was really good as well which you don't usually get at a casino buffet. I tried to prepare my wife that it would not be the Beau Rivage but when we got done I told her she didn't miss a thing. My wife is a marathoner (on our way back from Disney Marathon in Orlando) and usually has no interest in overeating, but she did me proud and enjoyed her $20 worth of food.

Lastly, the room was spotless!!! We checked for bedbugs in the mattress, pillows, and underneath the mattress and nothing. Next the sheets were soft and stain free!!! Third the view from the 10th floor was awesome and mesmerizing! We were facing the Gulf and the lit up bridge that links to the mainland. The room was big and spacious and the bathroom was clean all the way around (curtain, toilet, tub). No hairs laying in the tub or sink, no dirty towels or washcloths. The one negative I had was the pillows were not king size like the bed and the tv is not a flat screen, but I wasn't there to watch tv especially after knowing they got an awesome sports bar that I can go to. The bed is very comfortable and not too soft or hard.

If you are going to Biloxi do not hesitate to give the Palace a try. If you really don't like smoky casinos then this is they only place you can go and enjoy that luxury! The owners are way ahead of their time on this and they are taking a risk that should payoff nicely. IF YOU READ THIS FAR DOWN ON MY REVIEW THEN DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND BOOK IT!!!!
