The Island View Casino is a casino and hotel located in Gulfport, Mississippi.

The Island View is the successor to the Copa Casino, which was first located on a docked cruise ship and then a barge-based building at the Mississippi State Docks, across U.S. Highway 90 (Beach Blvd.) from the current location. The Copa and its neighbor, Grand Casino Gulfport, were both destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. When Grand Casino's parent Harrah's Entertainment decided not to rebuild, it sold the Grand site to Copa owners Rick Carter and Terry Green. When Mississippi legislators changed casino laws to permit new casinos to be built on dry land, the duo used the Grand's former hotel as a temporary casino for Phase I of their redevelopment.

The new facility (Phase I) opened on September 18, 2006, with 1,033 video poker and slot machines and 15 table games, a 350 seat Island View buffet, C&G Grille (a 24-hour restaurant) and a 562-room hotel.

On June 24, 2007, Emeril’s Gulf Coast Fish House fine-dining restaurant opened on the property. Also, a new multi-level parking garage is scheduled to open soon.

Phase II is expected to more than double the size of the casino, and add additional dining facilities and rooms. Completion date is undetermined. "Phase II" Is The Grand Casino Hotel and Remains Currently Gutted. For More Info the Grand Casino Gulfport Page Has More Info.
