Las Vegas Executive Applies for Casino in D'Iberville
Las Vegas casino executive Peter Simon has filed a notice of intent with the Mississippi Gaming Commission, a first step toward putting a casino in D'Iberville. The plans call for a 52,500-square-foot casino with 1,500 slot machines and 50 table games.
The 30-acre site is on the west side of Interstate 110. Simon, who was a top executive with Mandalay Resort Group before it was acquired by MGM Mirage, had plans earlier this year along with partners to put a $385 million all-slot machine casino in Pittsburgh.
The group decided against that project. "He's putting money in it himself," said Seymour. "That's a real good sign. I've had all kinds of screwballs wanting to grab onto it. They were just speculators. Peter is for real. "Simon's West D'Iberville Development LLC has bought another 15 acres north of the land owned by Moran and Seymour. "We've been working with him for about a year now," Seymour said. "At first, he was just looking at our site. Then when Hurricane Katrina hit, it changed everything."
