Harrah's Entertainment, Inc., announced plans to reopen its Grand Casino in Biloxi by late summer, pending regulatory approval of its renovation plans.

Harrah's existing Grand Casino land-based facilities, including the Bayview Hotel tower and the convention center, will be completely redesigned and rebuilt into a casino and 500-room hotel, featuring a steakhouse, a 300-seat buffet, a swimming pool, and a 16,000 square-foot service spa.

The Grand Casino Biloxi is one of the casinos that received extensive damage by Hurricane Katrina. Mississippi's lawmakers changed the rules for casinos after the storm wiped out about a dozen floating casinos in the cities of Biloxi and Gulfport.

Now, casinos can be rebuilt on solid ground. Before, only the hotels could be on the land, and the casinos had to float on the water.

The project is in the design phase. When reopened, Grand Casino Biloxi will initially employee about 1,000.
