New Casino Coming To Biloxi

Kiss' restaurant chain Rock & Brews is about to be expanded into a casino complex in Biloxi, Mississippi, according to Ultimate Classic Rock. A partner involved in the project, the RAM Group's Tom Moore, told Casino.org the plans for the casino 'include a 3,000-capacity concert hall, 300-room hotel and a casino with 1,000 slot machines.' The property previously housed a casino owned by Jimmy Buffett under his Margaritaville brand.

Funding for the new project is already in place along with site approval being granted. A casino license is expected to be approved in the next few weeks.

Oct 15, 2020 The proposed $1.2 billion UMUSIC Broadwater hotel and casino in Biloxi became a lot more real Thursday when a timeline for construction and a vision of the amenities were disclosed. Foxwoods Resort Casino at Biloxi Pointe is planned and designed to be the most unique entertainment and gaming destination in the region. The advantage of having the resources of 37 total Acres, with 100% Biloxi Bay shoreline, enabled the resort designers to incorporate amenities that no other casino property on the Mississippi Gulf Coast can replicate. Renderings of the planned UMusic Broadwater Hotel show a waterfront venue that appears to rival Biloxi’s biggest resort, the Beau Rivage Casino, Resort and Spa, in scale. Answer 1 of 3: I saw on another site that a new casino is going to be built in Biloxi. Anyone know anything? Backers didn’t reveal a lot of new details on Thursday about a massive music-oriented resort coming to Biloxi, but they certainly provided a sense of the ambition behind the project.

A while back, Gene Simmons told us about some prospective business deals he was working on, proving that he has many other interests beyond being a bassist in a legendary rock band: ['There's some real estate deals in China. There are eight different projects — one is a 55-story skyscraper, a theme park, and lots of other stuff; a cable television network; some stocks. I mean, I can't be too specific about this stuff, but there's a lot of big stuff, any one of which could make Kiss, the entire entity, look like a popcorn fart — but would be nowhere near as much fun.']SOUNDCUE (:20 OC: . . . as much fun)

IN OTHER KISS NEWS

Guitarist Tommy Thayer gave an update on the upcoming definitive Kiss documentary tentatively due out in 2021. Thayer told Sweden's RockSverige.se, 'I think we're at least halfway into it. The director is John Dorsey and he's done great things before. We've done interviews on camera and he's putting together a lot of historic footage and talking to a lot of different sources, including us and our archives. It's coming along. I've seen a little bit and I think it will be really exciting and really well done.'

Thayer explained that the doc is featuring unique fan sourced footage as well as deep dives from the Kiss vaults: 'We have a lot of great stuff in our archives for certain, but there's still a lot of other unique and rare stuff out there that we don't have. It's a matter of sourcing that stuff.'

Paul Stanley told us he's amazed at how quickly the time has flown since the band started: ['It really has gone by in the blink of an eye. It's staggering to have all the excitement, and the challenges, the victories, the soap operas — everything. And yet it seems, y'know, like the blink of an eye.'] SOUNDCUE (:14 OC: . . . blink of an eye)
