What's New In Vicksburg, Mississippi?

A lot is happening in Vicksburg, Mississippi these days. There are crowds in town and filling the casinos more than ever before. In part, this is a result of Hurricane Katrina wiping out the Gulf Coast casino resorts and people requiring another destination. The other reason is that many of those who have had to relocate from the Gulf Coast came to nearby Vicksburg in search of a new life. Yet the chaos apparent just post-Katrina is gone as these people settle in and things return to normal for the little southern city of Vicksburg.

Vicksburg is a historical little city with reminders of the Civil War remaining even today. It is a place of elegant antebellum homes and modern conveniences. It is somewhat of a contradiction in that respect. For example, one riverboat-looking casino appears to be historic from the outside, only to be filled with the traditional casino flashing lights and chrome slots, green felt gaming tables and lots of excitement. Life outside the casino, returns you to the slow, southern way of Vicksburg living.


The Isle of Capri Vicksburg offers waterside gambling and luxury hotel accommodations. Suites with whirlpool baths, river view rooms and a swimming pool and hot tub, plus lots of pink and green lights makes this a beautiful, tropical casino resort. Choose from buffet, steak and burger restaurants for your dining needs. The casino itself is 32,000 square feet and boasts of having the very latest gaming machines. Of course, you'll find blackjack, roulette, craps, poker and many more games to enjoy. There is an RV park available and lots of great entertainment of all kinds visits this venue. You'll never be bored at the Isle of Capri Vicksburg!

The Horizon Hotel Casino Vicksburg is another option for a great place to stay and play your vacation away. One hundred seventeen hotel rooms provide accommodations for those who come to see the city or the play the games in the casino and, hopefully, win some money. Choose fine dining or casual dining at the two restaurants or stop in the sports bar for a drink in between sightseeing and gambling. The multi-level casino will satisfy you needs whether you want to play the slots or the many gaming tables. With 750 gaming machines to choose from, you'll find one you love. You'll also find all the most popular gaming tables available.

The Ameristar Resort and Rainbow Casino are another popular place to stay while visiting Vicksburg. The 42,000 square foot riverboat casino offers every type of gambling you expect to find in Las Vegas or Atlantic City. It's right here in Vicksburg waiting for you. The Ameristar accommodations include 150 rooms, fourteen of which are spa suites. Three choices in dining provide buffet, casual, and exhibition cooking so that you can find something that will taste good whenever you get hungry.

Vicksburg is a city you want to visit, even in these transitional times. As the Gulf Coast rebuilds, the crowds may remain here in Vicksburg but certainly some will return to the Gulf Coast. However, the popularity of the casino resorts in Vicksburg will certainly remain for years to come.
