BILOXI – On Thursday, the Mississippi Gaming Commission approved the Tullis Hotel and Casino site in east Biloxi. This means the land off Highway 90 between the Ohr O’Keefe Museum of Art and Harrah’s, where Tullis Manor once stood, is a legal gaming site.
The Gaming Commission also put consideration on hold for the Tivoli Casino project. It would be built on the site of the old Tivoli Hotel, which is just west of the Biloxi Yacht Club.
Commissioners say they need time to review a lawsuit involving the project.
Both casino proposals are tangled in legal battles with the Secretary of State.
In October, Secretary of State Michael Watson filed a lawsuit challenging the Tullis Manor project.
Watson filed a similar suit against the Tivoli Casino project, which is a development by Biloxi Capital LLC.
