Two Mississippi Casino Sites Approved

VICKSBURG, Mississippi -- The Vicksburg Zoning Board has approved sites for two new casinos in the Mississippi River city.

The casinos, if built, would be Vicksburg's fifth and sixth and the first since 1994.

Both developers still have to get site approval from the Mississippi Gaming Commission and other agencies.

Tim Cope of Lakes Entertainment, a Minnesota company, said the 160-acre site near Magnolia Road will be accessed from U.S. 61 South.

According to previous statements from the company, the development will include a hotel and a 40,000-square-foot gaming vessel.

Plans for the other project, the Pot of Gold Casino, call for a six-story hotel, 45,000-square-foot gaming area, public park and floating pavilion.
