Biloxi
The United States of America is a country in North America that extends from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean and shares land borders with Canada and Mexico. The United States is a federal constitutional republic, with its capital in Washington, D.C., District of Columbia.

It is the smaller of two principal cities of the Gulfport, Mississippi-Biloxi, Mississippi Metropolitan Statistical Area, which is included in the Gulport-Biloxi-Pascagoula, Mississippi Combined Statistical Area. The city is co-county seat with Gulfport.
The history of Biloxi, Mississippi spans more than 300 years. On August 29, 2005, Biloxi was severely damaged by Hurricane Katrina, which struck with a 30-foot storm surge, but Biloxi began re-building soon after, with 3 casinos re-opened in late December, Beau Rivage re-opened on Katrina's anniversary, and other hotels and casinos being added in 2006. In the center of what fisheries biologists term The Fertile Fisheries Crescent, Biloxi offers some of the finest sportsfishing along the entire northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Biloxi has become home to several casino resort hotels, with 24-hour gambling, concert entertainment shows, and several restaurants.
It can also be considered as the preeminent, historical and potential tourism destination that enjoys a very positive reputation with worldwide travelers to become one of the most visited places.
