Implosion of Grand Casino Biloxi MS

Hotel was about 10 years old, flooded almost to the third floor in Hurricane Katrina. Two other casinos behind me added to the echo of the explosion.

Actually, this indeed is in Biloxi. Filmed in the middle of the eastbound lane at the intersection of Cedar Street and Hwy 90, right in front of the church.

The Gulfport Grand Casino was sold to the owners of the destroyed Copa Casino and is now the Island View Casino.

So it's ten years old and they blow it up? Could they have not just renovated it? Probably would have been cheaper.

They destroyed this building and put up one with too small a casino in it. The casino is hardly "grand."

can't imagine how this building could not have been saved

I was a security officer at The Grand up until Katrina...I used to clock in on the graveyard shift every night in this building.
