Mississippi Choctaws converting gaming facility into event center


The Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians is making changes at one of its gaming facilities.

The tribe already reduced the hours of operation at the Golden Moon Casino. Now it's going to be used as an event facility, starting in January 2011.

"Pearl River Resort prides itself on providing our more than two million guests annually the best in entertainment and this new event center will no doubt serve as a new showcase for delivering this promise," Susan O'Connell, chief operating officer of Pearl River Resort, said in a press release, The Neshoba Democrat reported.

The tribe is opening a Class II facility on another part of its reservation.
