Beau Rivage Biloxi: Fixed Position and Straight-Line Distances

The straight-line distance from Beau Rivage to downtown Biloxi is 2.5 miles, measured as the crow flies. Road distance is longer than any straight-line figure, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time for any route.

Beau Rivage is a fixed point on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Its coordinates are 30.392413 latitude and -88.891915 longitude, placing it in the city of Biloxi, Mississippi. The property is owned by Vici Properties and operated by MGM Resorts International, and it opened in March 1999 with 1,740 hotel rooms.

The venue sits near the Gulf of Mexico, and its position relative to other cities is best understood through great-circle distances. These figures measure the shortest path over the earth's surface, ignoring roads, bridges, and terrain. A reader planning a trip should treat every number below as a starting point for route research, not as a driving estimate.

Documented straight-line distances

The table below lists every reference point for which a straight-line distance to Beau Rivage is publicly documented. Each figure is a great-circle measurement, not a road distance.

Why straight-line and road distance differ

A great-circle distance is the shortest arc between two points on a sphere. A road route is longer because it must follow the actual transportation network. Three factors widen the gap in this region.

First, water. Beau Rivage sits on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and the nearest large body of water is the Gulf of Mexico. Any route heading east or west along the coast must follow the shoreline and the bridges that cross bays and inlets. A straight line over open water has no road equivalent.

Second, terrain and the road grid. Mississippi's coastal plain is flat, but the road network is not a direct line to every city. Highways connect population centers, and a driver heading north toward Memphis or east toward Atlanta follows the paths those roads take, which rarely match the compass bearing of a straight line.

Third, state boundaries and urban routing. A trip to New Orleans, 76.5 miles straight-line, crosses the Louisiana state line and then enters a dense urban area. The actual drive follows the available crossings and surface streets, adding distance that no straight-line figure can capture.

Beau Rivage's position within the region

Biloxi is in southern Mississippi, on the Gulf Coast. The venue's coordinates place it east of New Orleans and west of Mobile, Alabama. It is south of Hattiesburg and Jackson, and it lies near the water's edge rather than inland.

The property is one of several casino resorts along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Its position relative to other documented cities is shown in the table above. New Orleans is the nearest major city at 76.5 straight-line miles, followed by Gulfport at 11.0 miles and Lake Charles at 258.2 miles.

For a reader in Texas, Houston is 389.5 straight-line miles away and Dallas is 494.1. For a reader in the Midwest, Chicago is 797.0 and St. Louis is 573.8. These figures describe position, not travel time.

Reading the table for your own trip

If your starting point is not in the table, this article cannot measure that specific pair. The venue's position is fixed; your position is not. To estimate your own straight-line distance, take your current coordinates and the venue's coordinates, 30.392413, -88.891915, and use any standard great-circle distance tool.

For road distance, use a mapping service that calculates routes from your exact address. That service will account for current road conditions, bridge crossings, and the route you intend to drive. No figure in this article should be read as a driving estimate.

What to confirm before you go

Several details change and are not published here. Confirm the venue's current operating status and any entry requirements through its own guest services channel before traveling. Confirm road conditions and bridge status with the Mississippi Department of Transportation if you are driving along the coast.

Hotel room availability and rates change daily and are set by the property's booking system, not by this article. The venue's published room count of 1,740 is a documented figure from its opening period and may have changed through renovation or reconfiguration. Check the property's own booking page for the current number and availability.

If your question is about filming or photography inside the casino, that policy is set by the operator and is not part of this article's geographic scope. Contact the property directly or review its published guest policies before you arrive.
