Located only a few steps away from the white sand beaches of Gulfport, Florida, the 10,000 square foot Gulfport Casino Ballroom, overlooking the Boca Ciega Bay, is a historic landmark. It is one of the last of its type in America that is still operational. That first Casino was also an important meeting place. The founding fathers gathered there when deciding to incorporate Gulfport in 1910. The First United Methodist Church, now at 28th and 53rd, met there in the beginning. It wasn’t just about dancing. But for 15 years, the first Casino made Gulfport popular. The trolley made transportation. Grand Casino Gulfport and Biloxi Area Map.

Grand Casino Gulfport Quick Review

Please note: This review is pre-Katrina. We will have information and photos of the new Island View Resort soon.

The Grand is enourmous and has an extensive lineup of amenities and services to appeal to the widest possible audience. But still retains its friendly, southern charm. Families will love the tropical waterpark, Kids Quest, teen arcade, and easy beach access. Everyone will love the selection of casual dining spots and top notch accomodations.

Grand Casino Gulfport Location

Grand Casino is on the beach in Gulfport. It is the closest casino resort to the airport (head south on US-49, then hand a right onto Beach Blvd, the resort is straight ahead). The Copa Casino and Port of Gulfport are nearby. Biloxi and its casinos is 15-20 miles east on US-90 (Beach Blvd).

Grand Casino Gulfport Property Layout

The Grands of Mississippi are large resorts chock full of amenities and services to make your visit a complete resort experience.

The Grand Gulfport occupies both sides of Beach Blvd. The Oasis Spa and Resort, with its 3 acre tropical pool area, hotel, spa, lounge, and parking lot sit on the north side of the street. On the beach side, is the casino, parking garage, and the Grand Casino Hotel complete with indoor swimming pool, Kids Quest, shops, and eateries. An enclosed walkway is provided for easy travel over Beach Blvd.

Grand Casino Gulfport Hotels

Grand Casino Gulfport has two luxurious hotels with a total of 1000 rooms and suites.

The Grand Casino Hotel is adjacent to the casino on the Gulf side of Beach Blvd. The tower has 400 rooms with magnificent views of the beach and the water. The Grand Hotel provides convenient access to the casino, an indoor swimming pool and jacuzzi, and several shops and a restaurant in it lobby.

The newer, 600 room, Oasis Spa and Resort is located across the street from the casino. While this might seem like an inconvenience for the diehard gambler, it really is not thanks to an over-street enclosed walkway, and we prefer this hotel for its outstanding amenities (as will be discuss below).

The Oasis Resort and Spa is aptly named: it houses the Bellissimo Spa as well as the Grand's lush, oasis-like, three acre tropical pool area.

The tropical outdoor attraction includes a large swimming pool, kiddie pool with waterfall, cabana bar, plenty of lounge chairs, and a winding lazy river, which you can float along on an inner tube. Inside, there is an extensive lobby area with comfortable seating with views of the pool, a TJ Cinnamons bakery, a bar, gift shop, and game room.

We stayed at the Oasis Spa and Resort and could not have been happier with the accomodations. The views are not as spectacular as at the tower hotel, but that was more than made up for by the other amenities (as discussed above). The like-new room was very comfortable and included a fridge, coffeemaker, ironing equipment, hair dryer, cable television with pay per view movies and games, and other niceties (see pictures).

When you are ready to leave the spa-like atmosphere of the Oasis (to play or eat), your walk over to the casino is enjoyable as you pass over the street, and through the Grand Hotel's lobby past the shops and lounges, and then thrust into the exciting gaming environment.
