Please add Connor Young and myself from YNOT to the "maybe" list.

If this happens in Biloxi the weekend of Oct 26-28, it might just have "road trip" written all over it for us.

I went back and re-read this a couple of times. Is there a "host" hotel where most folks will be staying? It will be difficult to get together with as spread out as things are there without a central location. Now, I haven't been there since January and other than the casinos there wasn't much to do.

I am interested. I have lots of family in that area.

Oh...and Gulfport/Biloxi International Airport is about the size of my apartment building..so no getting lost.

I flew into Gulfport once. They had to scare the farm animals off the runway before we could land.

Also, we had rented a car and I selected "luxury" class. They had to bring one down from somewhere just for us. And all the employees from the other rental counters (both of 'em) came over to see who was getting the cadillac, like we were celebrities or something. True story, no BS.

I get the impression this is in the "formulative" stages. I haven't seen a hotel recommendation. I'd be very partial to Beau Rivage just due to familiarity and the fact it's an MGM property myself. I'd consider others simply because they're all essentially new at this point thanks to Katrina.

I stayed at the Imperial Palace. It wasn't as bad as the one in Vegas, which I will not even walk by!

Beau Rivage would be my suggestion too, but I am open to suggestions.

I'll actually be in the area in August. I am looking forward to see what has been done in the 6 months since I was last there.
