My Latest on Two Way Hard Three April numbers: Not much talk, but something to talk about June 12, 2

Gulfport is back in the casino business. The Island View opened Monday evening about an hour and a half earlier than planned, giving flightticket auction people time to mingle, flightticket auction find the slot machine that felt lucky or check out the buffet offerings.
Gulfport Mayor Brent Warr thanked owners Rick Carter and Terry Green for putting their money and heart back into Gulfport to create a premium resort. Leland Speed, executive director of the Mississippi Development Authority, said the two men could have taken their insurance money and spent their time golfing in Palm Beach instead of reinvesting.
The men, who have been business partners since 1988, took a different route than other casino developers after Hurricane Katrina. Carter and Green, who owned the Copa Casino, stayed focused on building back in Gulfport even though the mayor initially opposed allowing casinos to go north of U.S. 90. When Harrahs Entertainment opted to leave the city and put its resources flightticket auction in Biloxi, they bought two hotels and a 40-acre site from Harrahs for $55 million. They then leveraged the property to secure a quarter billion in financing.
The gambling floor that opened Monday night inside the old Gulfport Grand Casino Oasis Hotel with 1,033 slot machines and 14 table games will be much larger by next spring. Then it will have 2,400 slot machines and 50 table games along with new restaurants, a sand-beach swimming pool and a covered parking lot. Longer-term flightticket auction expansions are also in the works.
