Best TimeRecommended from April to October, with peak hours from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM. Positioned perfectly on the eastern shoreline, its outdoor waterfront recreational patio serves as a prime vantage point to watch returning vessels and the sunset cast golden hues onto the Biloxi-Ocean Springs Bridge.
Getting ThereLocated on the south (waterfront) side at 280 Beach Boulevard. Drive east on US-90 E for about 1.5 miles from the base of I-110 S. Turn right into the main boulevard entrance, which leads directly to a massive, semi-enclosed multi-level free self-parking deck connected via a skybridge.
Travel Tips
- This Caesars Entertainment property offers Rewards redemption, but its Grand Bear golf course is located miles north deep within De Soto National Forest; check fuel levels before driving.
- The Great Lawn concert venue sits flush against the seawall where sudden chill offshore winds and sea mists develop; pack a wind-resistant jacket and note that hard coolers are banned.
- Valet retrieval queues easily top 40 minutes immediately following headline concerts on the lawn; opt for the upper levels of the self-parking covered garage for rapid post-event egress.
Reviews
Positive
- Right by the waterfront, the pool deck overlooks the wide Gulf views; the outdoor scenery and resort vibe fully live up to the name.
- The table games and slots are updated quickly, and irregular live entertainment shows add lots of fun to the gaming experience.
- Caesars Rewards members enjoy good perks and discounts here; the internal dining value is quite favorable for loyalty members.
- The security staff are strict yet polite; safety enforcement at all entrances is reassuring, making late-night walks feel secure.
Heads up
- Due to historical hurricane rebuilding, the property's scale is smaller than other mega-resorts, with some amenities compressed.
- The buffet is closed during certain periods, leaving few casual dining options; fine restaurants are pricey, posing spending pressure.
- Signage for accessible facilities isn't clear enough; the accessible path from parking to the casino floor is a bit winding.
- High weekend night tourist density leaves casino servers overwhelmed; drink wait times are too long, needing better peak management.
