Biloxi
Gulf Coast casino town where shrimp boats dock beside towering resort hotels.
Biloxi straddles two worlds—weathered fishing docks where Vietnamese shrimpers mend nets at dawn, and glittering casino floors that never sleep. The salt air carries both the smell of fresh seafood and the hum of slot machines, while Hurricane Katrina's scars have given way to rebuilt beaches and a community that knows how to start over.
