Biloxi Casino Implosion

Filed in archive Casinos by jo on May 23, 2006

You've got to love a video of a casino demolition. But this one was bittersweet.

Neither architecturally pretty nor tall, at only 12 stories high, the Grand Casino Island View Hotel in Biloxi links

was damaged during Hurricane Katrina. The casino went down in seconds when the mayor pressed button to start a series of explosions.

Harrahs are planning a billion dollar casino resort on the current site which should take a couple of years with a casino opening within 12 months across the street.
