There's no doubt that the Mississippi Gulf Coast area is well known for its casinos. With 12 casinos
scattered throughout the Gulfport, Biloxi, Bay St Louis, and D'Iberville areas, you've got a choice of Las Vegas-style gaming 24 hours a day, seven days a week when you come to the Gulf Coast for your casino weekend.
But, what about the accommodation component of your stay? Although most casinos have hotels, that doesn't mean they're the best - or even the most convenient - place to stay for your casino weekend. Read on to learn why staying at a bed and breakfast is your best bet for a weekend Gulf Coast casino getaway.
Central Location
If you choose a bed and breakfast in Gulfport, the biggest city on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, you're staying in a central location that makes it easy to get to every casino in the area.
From Gulfport, you can reach the nearest casino in just a few minutes, and the Biloxi, D'Iberville, and Bay St. Louis casinos are anywhere from 5-20 minutes away. That means you have access to a dozen casinos in a matter of minutes.
When you stay at a casino hotel, you're much less likely to get out and explore because it's easy to simply take the elevator upstairs to your room. That's why casinos have hotels - to keep visitors on-site and spending money there.
By staying in a casino hotel you miss an awful lot. Many casino hotel visitors never even bother to explore the local attractions, like the beach, let alone the other casinos nearby.
When you stay at a bed and breakfast, you have the best central location to plan your casino trips as well as other local sightseeing. You can even hit every casino on the coast with a little planning!
Comfortable Accommodations
Casinos do elegance pretty well, but they often fall flat when it comes to creating a welcoming homey atmosphere. When you're on vacation, even if it's only a short weekend getaway, your comfort is a big priority. There's no place that creates comfort better than a bed and breakfast.
Bed and breakfasts merge elegance and comfort to create a homelike environment where you're not afraid to relax. You get large beds, flat-screen televisions, and Wi-Fi access, along with access to a cozy living room, inviting dining room, and an efficient kitchen. Many casino hotel rooms are small, sterile places that coop you up in one small box-shaped room.
Delicious Dining
While you can certainly get food at casinos, unfortunately, it's often made for the masses. Buffets and even most of the smaller casino restaurants serve hundreds of customers (or more) every day, and often all at the same time. Such large-batch food production often means that food is edible, maybe even tasty, but definitely not unique or particularly interesting.
At a top-rated bed and breakfast on the Gulf Coast, your meals are included with your stay - and it's not just any old food. You can enjoy the local southern specialties like biscuits and gravy, fried chicken, hush puppies, and fresh local seafood.
Mississippi is home to some truly amazing Southern recipes, so why not enjoy the best local food while you're here? At a bed and breakfast, the food is prepared in small batches, just for the guests, which means you get a true home-cooked meal, every time. That's a great way to fuel up for your casino adventures!
By staying at a bed and breakfast for your casino weekend, you get a central location, comfortable accommodations, and delectable food - a casino hotel just can't compare. Reach out to Bed, Breakfast, and Beyond
