Plans for a new casino on the old Margaritaville site in Biloxi are still on, despite the property being up for sale.

Rock and Brews – a concept inspired and backed by legendary KISS members Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley – are still moving forward, said the casino’s developer on Friday. The old Margaritaville Casino site was expected to be transformed for the project, which boasts a $200 million price tag.

The Biloxi Back Bay property is was listed earlier this month with a price tag of $15.9 million through Southeast Commercial Real Estate, a Gulfport-based company.

Rock and Brews developer Tom Moore says the owner of the land recently changed realtors, but his group still has first right of refusal on any property deal.
