PHILADELPHIA, Miss. -- The owners of the Beau Rivage casino in Biloxi hope to reopen on Aug. 29, the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.

Casino officials gave the Mississippi Gaming Commission a preview of the new refurbished casino and hotel design on Thursday. The commission met at the location of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians casinos near Philadelphia.

George P. Corchis Jr., president of Beau Rivage, said the casino and hotel will have new restaurants.

"We have taken a property that no doubt was the premier property in Mississippi and we have taken it to the next level," Corchis said.

The resort will have a fresh, updated look and a better-integrated service network so employees can more efficiently handle the needs of guests, he said. All standard rooms are being redone from scratch and all suites remodeled.

The casino is adding a poker room and a better-defined high-limits area. The shops along the retail promenade will have their own personality on the inside and outside.

"It's almost going to look like a street," Corchis said

He said when the resort reopens it will have between 3,400 and 3,600 employees, the same number as when the hurricane hit.

Also Thursday, officials said the Casino Magic-Bay St. Louis will become a Hollywood Casino, similar to the one its parent company, Penn National Gaming Inc., owns in Tunica County. The casino there is dedicated to movie themes and has displays from "Titanic" and Elvis Presley movies. It is scheduled to reopen later this year.

Gulfside Casino Partnership surrendered its license for the Copa Casino and will reopen as the Gulfport Oasis Casino. The Gulfport Oasis, owned by Rick Carter and Terry Green, is set to open Sept. 2.
