BILOXI, Miss. – Beau Rivage Resort & Casino, MGM
MIRAGE’s destination resort on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, has once again
been recognized as one of the top hotels in the world by the leading
travel magazine Travel + Leisure.
In the seventh annual T+L 500, Travel + Leisure’s international team of
reporters and editors researched the 500 highest-ranking hotels, resorts,
inns and lodges from their annual World’s Best survey and came up with the
definitive list and for the sixth year, Beau Rivage has been recognized as
one of the world’s top hotels.
Beau Rivage is the only property in Mississippi to make the list.
Overall scores are an indexed average of evaluations concerning five
characteristics: rooms/facilities, location, service, restaurants/food and
value.
Travel + Leisure’s editors describe Beau Rivage as a “waterfront resort
that’s like Vegas on the Gulf Coast,
with a
high-wattage casino, 3,000-square-foot arcade, and polished interior
courtesy of a $550 million post-Katrina renovation.”
"With a circulation of nearly one million, this award is very
significant because it comes from the magazine’s readers, who are among
the most sophisticated and passionate travelers in the world," said George
P. Corchis, Jr. president and chief operating officer of MGM MIRAGE’s
Mississippi resorts, which includes Beau Rivage in Biloxi and the Gold
Strike Casino Resort in Tunica.
Beau Rivage amenities include 1,740 elegantly appointed guest rooms and
suites; 11 award-winning restaurants; four nightclubs and bars; a
state-of-the-art 1,550-seat theatre showcasing headline entertainment; an
upscale shopping promenade with 12 unique retail shops featuring the
latest designer trends; a 20,000-square-foot spa & salon; an
85,000-square-foot casino and Fallen Oak, a Tom Fazio-designed
championship golf course recognized among the nation’s best.
