twitterCeremony marks start of work on Silver Slipper casino
Friday, Jan. 28, 2005 | 9:34 a.m.
BAY ST. LOUIS, Miss. -- A groundbreaking ceremony this week marked the official start of construction on the Silver Slipper Gambling Hall and Saloon.
In reality, work on the project is well under way.
The casino is expected to open in November and will have 650 employees.
Paul Alanis, Silver Slipper Gaming's chief executive, said the casino will offer unique experiences for patrons.
The casino will be second in Hancock County. The Isle of Capri was the first.
Hard Rock Hotel and Casino is scheduled to open in August in Biloxi.
The openings this year will increase the number of casinos on the Gulf Coast from 12 to 14.
Bacaran Bay, which appears on track to receive all the state permits and leases it needs, would be the 15th.
