Bay Bridge on Highway 90

The bridge that spans the Biloxi Bay between Biloxi and Ocean Springs on Highway 90 is really a great improvement from the old bridge that was destroyed in Hurricane Katrina. The bridge is very impressive when you approach it from either side. The middle span of the bridge rises to over 90 feet high allowing large boats or barges to pass underneath with no problem. The old bridge that was destroyed was a drawbridge that would have to be open for large tugboats or shrimp boats.

I was also impressed with the walkway that was built on the bridge allowing pedestrians to walk or jog across. I have traveled on this bridge at many different times of the day from early morning to late at night and have always seen people walking across in all kinds of weather. Many charitable organizations also use the bridge for jogging events. The bridge can be seen from the hotels of many of the casinos and is quite an impressive sight at night with all the lights they have on it. So if you're in the area of Biloxi or Ocean Springs, MS and want to have an enjoyable walk or jog, check out the Bay Bridge I'm sure you will enjoy it.

The Beau Rivage

I recently spent three delightful days in the Beau Rivage resort and casino . This resort casino is located in Biloxi Mississippi on the Gulf Coast. When viewing Biloxi from the air you can really see that it is an island. Surrounded by water on the Back Bay and by the Bay of Biloxi on the other side.

When checking in I was given a choice to stay on the lower floors or the higher ones I chose the higher ones. I stayed on the 23rd floor of the hotel which had a magnificent view of the city, the Back Bay and also of some of the surrounding towns such as Ocean springs which in itself is a great little town to visit with it shops and many restaurants.

I was quite pleased with the room at the hotel as it was very large including the bathroom with its double sink separate tub and shower. The service was excellent. The only drawback I found was the hotel did not have Wi-Fi in the rooms. You could get an Internet connection with a ethernet cord that the hotel supplied at no charge. The only Wi-Fi spot was in the coffee shop in the main lobby. The buffets were fantastic and reasonably priced. When checking in we received a players card which entitled us to $30 of free slot machine play which was a nice touch. You may use valet parking or self parking. If you do choose self parking you will have a little ways to walk from the garage through the main lobby to the elevators going into your room. All in all we really enjoyed our stay there and would recommend the Beau Rivage resort and casino to everyone. If you go to their website you will find some great package deals like we did.
