Palace Casino Resort

We first worked on this project in August 2005 when the casino was completely destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. We provided designs for a temporary buffet and casino service bar that opened four months after Katrina hit.

In 2006, we designed new Food & Beverage venues for a $45 million, 110,000-square-foot expansion. This is the largest casino expansion on the Mississippi Gulf Coast since the hurricane.

The 4,500-square-foot, 300-seat buffet features live and interactive cooking stations. “Flames” offers freshly carved smoked and grilled meats and flame fired pizzas. “Comfort” serves Southern specialties and classic favorites. “Wok” features traditional Asian fare and introduces a new dining experience to the Mississippi Gulf Coast – a Mongolian barbeque-style grill, allowing guests to create their own cuisine. “Coastal” offers fresh boiled seafood and personalized pasta.

STACKED is a new 24-hour grill, offering “Burgers & Everything In Between”. The Palace Café & Bakery serves a variety of freshly baked goods and coffees with a window looking into the new production bakery. The new upscale Contact Lounge & Sports bar features domestic, import and craft beers.

Keith Crosby, general manager, remarked “We are very excited to share our beautiful new buffet with our guests. It’s more than just a new restaurant; it’s a new experience in dining.”
