Southern
Association of Forensic Scientists
Fall
2002 Meeting
Beau
Rivage Hotel – Biloxi, Mississippi
Never
mind “Viva Las Vegas” – if you desire the ultimate resort experience with
miles of beach instead of miles of sand, head for Biloxi and the Fall 2002 SAFS
meeting to be held in the elegant Beau Rivage Resort and Casino.
French for “beautiful shore”, Beau Rivage is a $650 million showplace
offering 1,780 guest rooms, a 75,000 square foot casino, a 31-slip marina which
can accommodate yachts up to 200 feet in length, a 1,550-seat showroom featuring
entertainment ranging from Tony Bennett and Harry Connick, Jr. to Cirque de
Soliel, a dozen restaurants and a world-class spa.
In
fact, everything about the Beau Rivage – from the atrium lobby with its
seasonally changing floral displays to the spacious guestrooms and incomparable
entertainment options – is world class, earning the property more than its share of prestigious
honors (among them, Conde Nast
Traveler’s Magazine’s Gold List of World’s Best Places to Stay and Travel
and Leisure Magazine 100 Top Hotels in the U. S.) Visit the hotel
