target completion is 2010
im happy that its gonan be built down there since im a frequent biloxi flyer 1-2 times a month
heres the sunherald report of it
Don't worry, Margaritaville will be built, work just slowing down.
BILOXI --The cranes were motionless Tuesday afternoon, but Harrah's Entertainment says it's not stopping work on the Margaritaville Casino, just slowing it down.
The credit crunch has squeezed even the world's largest casino company and Harrah's put an end to rumors about the Margaritaville building site in East Biloxi by releasing details.
"Over the next few weeks, residents of Biloxi will notice less activity and fewer workers at the Margaritaville work site," vice president of communications Marybel Batjer said in an e-mailed statement. "Rest assured that Harrah's is not canceling the project. We still believe in the Margaritaville concept, and we remain committed to our vision for the property. This is a project that we studied extensively, and we believe that it still has a great potential to benefit the Biloxi market and our company.
"We simply need to adjust the plan for the development to better align with the economic environment, market conditions on the Gulf Coast and the current financing environment."
Harrah's is teaming with entertainer and Pascagoula native Jimmy Buffett to build the nearly $1 billion resort with about 800 hotel rooms, a casino, a spa and more than 50 shops and restaurants. Yates Construction began work last summer and the skeleton already stretches along the beach from the Grand Biloxi to the former Casino Magic tower. Workers were on site Tuesday.
