About the image

The sun sets on Biloxi, Mississippi April 13, 2010. The city is the home of Keesler Air Force Base and is a popular vacation destination due to its sandy beaches and numerous waterfront gambling casinos, which include Beau Rivage, Isle of Capri, and Grand Casino. Due to the proliferation of gambling, the Mississippi Gulf Coast is often called the “Poor Man’s Riviera.” Much of Biloxi’s waterfront property along Scenic Highway 90 was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina Aug. 29, 2005, but as a result of revitalization efforts, recovery is now well underway.
