The Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation has announced plans to develop and operate a Foxwoods-branded, casino resort, to be located at Biloxi Pointe in Biloxi, Miss.
The new Foxwoods Resort Casino at Biloxi Pointe will be a $265 million destination resort and casino located on a 23-acre site along the shoreline in the Back Bay area of Biloxi. In an announcement, the tribal nation said the resort will be easily accessible from New Orleans, Birmingham and Atlanta. There is a potential market of 9 million people living within the 300-mile radius market spanning Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia and Florida.
Through the new strategic partnership the Mashantucket Pequot Gaming Enterprise will partner with Biloxi Boardwalk Ventures LLC, Chris Ferrara-Sponsor, and with The Hartmann Group, LLC, the resort’s project management company.
When completed, the 781,000 square foot full-service complex will feature both gaming and non-gaming amenities, including approximately 50,000 square feet of casino space, a 500-room hotel and 71,000 square feet of meeting and exhibition space, along with a variety of authentic, regional dining options, retail, spa and outdoor entertainment attractions.
Its opening is planned for spring 2019.
