Island View Casino Resort, Gulfport

We lived maybe ten minutes from the Copa casino for a while, and it quickly became my favorite of the local casinos. If you sign up for the Members Club, you can cash your checks and each time have a chance to double their value. Generally we only got a free roll of nickels, but hey free is free. They have a very good restaurant at the top of the casino that is open 24 hrs and their prices are excellent. We often had the $2.99 steak and eggs for dinner. Everyone was very nice to us, even once they got to know us and knew we didn't spend a lot of money at the tables. PROS: The Members Club benefits, 24 hr restaurant with great deals CONS:
