R. Scott Barber, Harrah’s mid-South regional president, tells The Sun Herald that while Harrah’s is exploring a number of opportunities, there was nothing new to report.
Barber was in Biloxi for Friday’s meeting of the Mississippi Gaming Commission.
Las Vegas-based Harrah’s announced the $700 million project in 2007. Jimmy Buffett, a Pascagoula, Miss., native known for his lazy-day beach songs such as “Margaritaville” and “Cheeseburger in Paradise,” was one of the resort’s backers.
The project was put on hold in 2008.
