Got a question on our Facebook page from a nice lady in Florida who wanted to know about casino junkets or bus tours to Biloxi from there. I'm not real current on the bus packages from anywhere in Florida other than the Panhandle, but I did my best and mentioned Trinity, which I think has pick-ups in Ocala, and Magic Carpet Ride, which appears to only have pickups more toward South Florida. Anyone here have any other ideas?
Update: Thanks for the tips, everyone! We got several more questions about this on FB, so we put together this list of Biloxi bus package providers to help folks find packages, whether they're coming from Florida or elsewhere.
I don't know about bus packages, but Beau Rivage offers air packages from St. Petersburg/Clearwater or Orlando Sanford airports to Biloxi for as low as $199 per person for two-night stays during the week and under $300 for 3-night midweek stays, including air, transport from the hotel and a hotel room. Pretty good deal, in my book. I'm an M Life member, but I think those packages are available to the general public, too. Beats the heck out of taking the bus all the way from Florida.
Kincaid offers day trips and overnight packages by bus from Panama City. Overnights are under $100 and include $50 in free play and a buffet. Hotard had day trips to Biloxi from Milton, Pensacola and Mobile for 10 bucks, usually with $10-20 in free play, so it's basically a free trip. Byrdman Casino Trips also has air packages out of Orlando.
