Thanks for sharing your trip report. Mr. Cashman slots are one of my favorites, too. Can't wait to visit Biloxi again.

Thanks for the report, once again, it will be a while before I go to my old play ground.

The way that the three casinos that are open (and especially the IP since it is the more complete property for now) handle their new-found dominance of the Biloxi market will determine their future.If...

Agree with your comments, Diceman. They are trying to upgrade with $15 min on the tables vs $5 before the storm. They also have special "High Skates" slot and table rooms. Upgraded their food to the...

We won't be back to Boloxi for a while until it returns to near normal. So places like the IP which apparently don't appreciate customer loyality will wilt on the vine when all the others have...

We have been long time Isle Of Capri customers and I will have to say that "So Far" their post Katrina mail out offers to us have been just as good as before the hurricane. I did notice even before...

Thanks for the very detailed trip report. It will be very interesting to see exactly what the next wave of re-openings will bring in terms of customer service.

Enjoyed your trip report and agree with others that the IP, no matter how much they improved their buffet and gaming floor, may lose some of its customer base after other casinos open and try to lure...

Y'all gotta remember that promos are also meant to bring people in, and right now they're all 3 so busy they can't handle any more people. When Katrina-starved gamblers start to get their fill, the...

I was an Ip player prior to Katrina also. Went down about 3 or four time a year with an average bet of $15 or $20 on table games and play $1 slots mostly otherwise. I live about the same distance from...

I think you are 100% right, Tiger! The Beau had an aggressive marketing program here in Tampa before Katrina but it was cheaper to go to the IP and keep a larger bankroll to risk. When the Beau...

Loved your detailed report. What a good rate from Tampa. We are 25 minutes from Tampa's airport and was very interested in your good rate. For $72 each roundtrip, that beats driving. We have always...

I read your trip on the forum. I too am from the Tampa area and would like to know how you got that cheap rate on the airplane. What is a Ding? What site did you use? I hope you can help and I...

Hi Folks...I am a little slow when it comes to computers but I finally figured out was a ding is. Thanks for all your help.

On the "Ding", they had one today for $54-$68 from Tampa, until end of April but a sample of flights had all the seats taken. Currently they only have a 7 am flight and one in the afternoon. Hopefully...

Thanks Fletcher:I'm real close to the airport in Tampa. I checked out the Air Tran flights to Gulfport last year. They were high and, like you said, I couldn't get over the fact you had to go to...

Fletcher,Thank you for the detailed report. I appreciate all your comments. I am so sorry to read that the hosts are not caring to look after old time customers. That will likely come bak to bite...
