Several years ago, a buddy of mine and I drove a car north to south through Alabama, playing the Robert Trent Jones golf trail courses, then crossed the border to Biloxi, Mississippi and stayed at Casino Magic for about a week. We did very little gambling but the suites we stayed in and the restaurants where we ate were dirt cheap. Neither of us realized at the time that the casinos were actually on barges that were anchored in the gulf about a yard off shore as gambling on the mainland wasn't legal.
Maybe Mississippi has made mainland gambling illegal again.
Just the opposite, after Katrina, they passed law that allowed mainland gambling to within 800yds(?) of shoreline.i.e. just other side of hywy 90.
