Beau Rivage Review for April 2026

All 1,740 rooms and suites went through a full renovation as recently as 2022, which for a property that's been open since 1999 is a welcome detail. The Gulf-facing rooms in particular are hard to beat on the Gulf Coast, with views across the Mississippi Sound that earn their premium.

As the largest AAA Four Diamond hotel in the Southeast by room count, the service standard here is a cut above what you'll find at most regional casino hotels too, and it certainly shows in the everyday details rather than just the grand gestures.

Rooms

Standard rooms come with very comfortable beds (I can attest), marble bathroom floors, deep soaking tubs alongside separate showers, flat-screen TVs, and coffee makers.

If sleep and wellness matter to you when you travel, it's worth looking at the Stay Well rooms. Developed with Delos, the Cleveland Clinic, and Dr. Deepak Chopra, they incorporate air purification, aromatherapy, advanced sleep technology, and customizable lighting. It sounds like marketing until you actually wake up feeling properly rested in one.

I haven’t tried the Stay Well rooms at Beau Rivage, but I have in some of MGM’s Las Vegas properties and I did find they made a genuine difference. One word of warning though is the Stay Well mattresses are a lot firmer than the normal one. Some will love that, others may not.

For the best views, aim for a Gulf-facing room on an upper floor, and if you can get a corner king, do it. Sunset over the Mississippi Sound from up there is the kind of thing you'll mention when you get home.

Pets are welcome too, with a two-dog limit up to a combined 100 pounds and a non-refundable $150 per night fee.

Where to Eat

Beau Rivage operates one of the strongest resort dining varieties on the Gulf Coast, including five full-service restaurants covering fine dining through casual and a full supporting cast of quick-service and bar options.

Coraline's is the newest addition to the line-up and the one generating the most current excitement. The Gulf-to-table concept puts Mississippi's coastal seafood at the center of a French Quarter-inspired fine dining room with waterfront views: award-winning gumbo, Snapper Coraline, oysters prepared tableside at a dedicated bar, and a menu that changes with the seasons and the Gulf's best available catch.

Both executive chefs are Mississippi Gulf Coast natives, which gives the food credibility too. If you like your seafood, and I know it isn’t for everyone, you’ll no doubt love Coraline’s.

BR Prime handles the obligatory steakhouse requirement with in-house aged meats and a caviar service that is also a bit of a standout.

Pool and Spa

The outdoor pool is a genuinely lovely spot. It looks directly out over the Gulf of Mexico and Mississippi Sound, framed by tropical landscaping and a large sundeck, with cabanas available to rent and a Pool Bar and Cafe taking care of food and drinks throughout the day. It's open year-round, which in Biloxi's climate means you'll rarely find a reason not to use it.

The spa and salon offers massages, facials, body wraps, hair services, manicures, pedicures, and waxing, among other treatments. I haven’t tried it, but if it is anything like the MGM resort spas in Vegas, you should definitely give it a go

If you want to make a full day of it, the dry sauna, steam room, plunge pools, and solarium give you everything you need to justify blocking out the calendar entirely.

Entertainment

The Beau Rivage Theater is the Gulf Coast's premier casino showroom, and the booking ambition here is quite impressive. Acts that normally play considerably larger venues regularly show up on the calendar, which makes checking the schedule before booking your stay worthwhile.

Just across the street, MGM Park is home to the Biloxi Shuckers, the Double-A affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers. If you're visiting during baseball season and you like that kind of thing, you might want to check that out.

MGM always seems to cater for the retail therapy types too, and on the retail side at Beau Rivage there are 12 shops on site covering everything from the hotel gift store through luxury jewelry and boutique fashion.

Finally, a 3,000 square foot arcade keeps younger guests occupied.

Golf

Beau Rivage does not have an on-site golf course, but it does have Fallen. Tom Fazio designed the course across 510 acres of Mississippi woodland about 20 minutes north of the resort, and it is open exclusively to Beau Rivage hotel guests. No public tee times, no walk-ins, no exceptions.

Fazio is, I am told, one of the most respected course architects in the country and Fallen Oak reflects that across its 18 holes.

Beau Rivage Resort and Casino is the best casino resort on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and it isn't particularly close. The 1,740 recently renovated rooms, 93 table games across 85,000 square feet of floor, dual MGM Rewards and Marriott Bonvoy earning, a Gulf-view pool, a nationally ranked spa, and exclusive access to Fallen Oak add up to a package that nothing else on the Gulf Coast can match.

I think though, for me, the biggest draw here is the MGM Rewards link. I am sure I would’ve gotten around to visiting Beau Rivage eventually anyway, but the fact you can earn pretty valuable MGM Rewards points at the property make it a destination that will actually work for you a little too.
