Any new info on the Margaritaville Casino?

Post by pinacolada lover »

It's been a while since I've heard anything new on it's opening, or progress. I was wondering if anyone had any updates.

Great link THANKS!

My husbands family live in Gulfport and we haven't been
there since Jan. to check it out. We stayed at the Harrah's
a couple days. Everyone there is excited [smilie=happydance.gif]

I was going to ask that too.

Hey PL, there is going to be one in Atlantic City and one in Biloxi.
If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

No it is at the Flamingo Hilton which is across from Ceasars. It is a really cool cafe!

Thanks kruzin and chip. If he does create a Margaritaville Casino, the Flamingo is going to lose a LOT of money.

I agree Flamingo will lose a lot of money.

Is there any ideas about where he would build if he opens a new one in Vegas?

Do you think it is possible that he might just decide to buy the Flamingo and redo it. He might opt for that since the location is so good and the hotel/casino has old Vegas history to it?

Yes, we need more Margs all over the place. I want to see this country saturated with 'em. And now the rhum - somebody tell me what's next. Damn. When is enough enough?
