Hard Rock Casino - Buloxi, MI Flooded By Isaac

[Mben]

I know we have members on the forum who frequent the Hard Rock Casino in Buloxi, MI. Here's a video of what it looks like right now. The first floor is under water. There's tons of water and not very pretty.<a href="http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-834738" >http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-834738</a>

Been in there n umerous times, once inside its a pretty good size escalator ride up to the main araea. The flooding just took out the valet booth not much on ground floor. But I can tell you thier pool area is wasted, its on the ground level.

The Mississippi Gaming Commission has given the go ahead to most of the casinos that were hit by Hurricane Isaac that they can open up for business. Some were open yesterday, the Hard Rock included, and the the rest should get approval to open today. Duncan McKenzie, general manager of Hard Rock Casino, said once the Gaming Commission gave the approval to open, employees went to work. Nothing is more important than guaranteeing the safety of our staff, guests and community, he said. People first -- then property. Always. The resort reopened with limited amenities and McKenzie said the full Hard Rock experience returns today. Everyone has been asking about the guitar, McKenzie said. It became a beacon of hope after Katrina, and it stands today prouder than ever. -- Edited by Mben on Friday 31st of August 2012 01:23:35 PM

Its casino, while still upscale by design, is much smaller and intimate, but unlike Bellagio, the machines are nestled in among plants and other decorations. This design was chosen so that people can hide, since as a local's place many of the players will know other people who walk in.

It was just a novelty that there were any at all.  The web sites were more about the fact that you could gamble online, than about any sort of theme in the software.
