marks anniversary at Golden Nugget
n anniversary doesn’t have to be a certain number to be a special event — especially when the celebration includes
$100,000 in prizes and marks a $100 million transformation. Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino is celebrating its third anniversary this month with a $100,000 Golden Gala that began in April and concludes Saturday, May 6, with giveaways and a free outdoor concert.
The property, formerly Isle of Capri Casino, underwent an extensive transformation and debuted as Golden Nugget in May 2014.
“We’re really celebrating our great players and customers who have
been so loyal to us. Over time, the players get to know our employees and vice versa, so in a sense we are celebrating together,” said Scott King, vice president of marketing and resort operations.
On May 6, a free concert featuring Rumours — The Ultimate Fleetwood Mac Tribute Show will be held at H2O Pool+Bar at 5 p.m. The party continues with a Mercedes-Benz SUV giveaway at 10:15 p.m., with earlier drawings for Free Play starting at 6 p.m. Visit the players club for complete details.
Since Golden Nugget’s
opening, there have
been several changes.
The seating has been
expanded in Lillie’s
Asian Cuisine and a
bakery has been added
to the 24/7 restaurant,
Michael Patrick’s Cafe. Construction is expected to begin soon on the Saltgrass Steak House.
The casino floor has many of the newest slot machines and table games. “Our casino team has done an excellent job keeping our slot product fresh over the last three years, and we’ve also done a lot of work with our 24K Select Club and the tier entitlements players receive,” King said.
Additional amenities include The Spa & Salon, 15-floor hotel and two pools. “The H20 Pool+Bar is unlike anything else on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, with contemporary built-in seating areas, fire pits, hot tubs, 12 private cabanas, daybeds, and poolside gaming, all in a beautiful, island-like setting.”
Golden Nugget Biloxi also has a community outreach program that strives to make an impact by providing support to charities in the Gulf Coast region.
