NATCHEZ, Miss. (AP) – The president of a casino in Natchez says he plans to meet with Mayor Butch Brown about banners advertising the casino.
The Natchez Democrat reports ( http://bit.ly/ZXFGSq ) that the city took down banners directing customers to the Magnolia Bluffs Casino at the bottom of Roth Hill in Natchez on Friday. But the casino soon replaced them.
Natchez officials said the casino did not have a permit for the signs, which violate size restrictions.
Casino President Kevin Preston said the signs were needed because potential customers did not know how to get to the casino, which opened in December.
Brown said he decided against immediately removing the replaced banners over the weekend. However, he said the casino will likely face a fine and that the ordinances have to be enforced.
