Players club
Beau Rivage utilizes the M life players club, the MGM club that allows members to earn and use rewards at 15 properties, including one other in Mississippi, the Gold Strike in Tunica. Players club members can enjoy discounts, generous comps and special experiences, even at relatively low levels of play. The system is tiered based on accumulated points or credits, with Sapphire tier being the entry level up to 25,000 credits, followed by Pearl, Gold and, at 200,000+ credits, Platinum. Noir tier is also available for high rollers, by invitation only. There is always a slate of promotions to help players earn more credits; in September 2013, for example, there is a double M life tier credit promotion.
Hotel
Bringing the French Riviera to the Redneck Riviera, the Beau Rivage is generally known as the most elegant property on the MS Gulf Coast, and one of the finest hotels in the southeast U.S. Because it is a casino hotel, though, guests can often book rooms at rates considerably less expensive than those they would pay at hotels of similar quality. Beau Rivage consistently earns high praise in reviews from guests on the major review and booking sites.
Hotel Amenities
The amenities at Beau Rivage rival any luxury hotel property. The outdoor pool is a Mediterranean oasis, with a pool deck overlooking the Gulf, lush foliage, a pool bar and cabanas for rent. The spa pampers guests with a variety of services, and the fitness area is superb; many guests say the gym is the best of any Biloxi casino. Shopping includes everything from standard hotel gift shop fare to luxury boutiques, and a $10 store for travelers with less expensive tastes. The Fallen Oak Golf Club, though, is the jewel in the crown of the Beau Rivage. Rated as one of the best golf courses in the U.S., Fallen Oak was designed exclusively for the Beau's guests. The 18-hole, par-72 course offers serene views, challenging play, a pro shop and restaurant.
Beau Rivage also offers something for the kids. In addition to the pool -- a family favorite -- kids can enjoy the arcade. It's open from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. and is located in the hotel's shopping area. The arcade has a huge variety of video games and amusements, including those designed for children 10 and under, and kids can earn their own prizes while playing. Since casinos are often a bit short on things for kids to do, the arcade makes the Beau Rivage a good family hotel. All rooms and common areas in the hotel are smoke-free.
