Any new casino in Mississippi must have an amenity to grow the market and the developers of a casino in Long Beach are starting with that attraction.

In a Facebook post, the management of Parrish’s Restaurant at the Long Beach Harbor announced the restaurant will close at the end of dinner Jan. 22 and reopen later this spring.

“As you are aware we are in the preliminary phases of development of Southern Sand Casino, which encompasses Parrish’s Restaurant,” management said.

“In conjuncture with our partners and operators we have made the decision to change the direction of our present Parrish’s format to accommodate an amenity, which is required by The Mississippi Gaming Commission,” the notice says.
