Old Casino Question.
I just had one of those senior moments trying to remember something. I am sure someone here can help. Many years ago (pre Katrina) there was a casino located on the waterfront next to the Grand...

Thank's so much for the reply.. I don't even know what made me think of the Lady Luck. Just one of those questions that kind of bug you till you find out. Evidently it was not very popular or it would...

I think the Lady Luck was one of the first casinos in Biloxi & it was owned by the LL in Vegas. Personally, I liked the place even though it wasn't too large. We always stopped in for a giant 3/4...

Dang Hugh, you make it sound wonderful, like a shady, down on the wharf type of place. I should have put on my red and white striped shirt with my little cap and gone in there.

Everything Hugh said is pretty much on the money. I guess that was the "charm" of the place, & yes, the buffet was dirt cheap but edible (most of the time).

To be honest I was in there one time. I know someone that use to eat I think it was the breakfast buffet in there all the time. We are talking about 1995 0r 96. The only thing I remember about it was...

I enjoyed playing at the old Lady Luck casino. It was a small casino compared to the Grand and did not have a hotel. I think that's probably why they sold to the Grand.

I never liked the Lady Luck. I think I only went there once. It was too dark and dingy for me.

You're right about the smell, I'm pretty sure it was the carpet that was soured, but I really dont remember much about it. I think I ate one of those hotdogs that someone memtioned, but I really dont...

Wasn't here also a place called the Biloxi Belle? I think it was based right to the east side of where the Beau is now. If anyone remembers anything about it let us know. I never went in it. Does...

RDJack; you're taking us down memory lane again. I mentioned in another thread that the Biloxi Belle was one of the first casinos in town & did stand where the Beau is now. The hotel itself I...

I only stopped in the Gold Coast one time. I took a quick look around & just didn't feel like staying to play. When it moved to the President, you couldn't keep me out of the place; go figure that...

If anyone is interested, you can view some of the old commercials on YouTube. Just type in something like "lady luck biloxi" or "biloxi belle" they're pretty funny to watch.

Thanks for the information Shamrock. I usually avoid YourTube fearing a virus. The Lady Luck clip was really a oldies classic. Thanks again.

I remember the Lady Luck. I went there a couple of times because of their blackjack game and its liberal rules: resplit pairs multiple times, late surrender, automatic win on six cards with 21 or less...

Thanks and welcome Ky Hick. I enjoy reading things of this nature.

If memory serves me correctly it was the Gold Shore not Gold Coast. Gold Coast is in Las Vegas. All the casinos used to give those little folders to keep your players cards in and for years I kept...

Jack; thanks a lot. I knew when I wrote it that "Gold Coast" didn't sound quite right, but I couldn't remember for sure. My "rare" Biloxi momento is a player card folder advertising both the Biloxi...

Jack, I have a funny memory of the old President, I went up to a machine and dropped in some nickles, they fell right through. I tried it a couple of more time, then an employee walked up and pointed...
