Stop and gamble a bit at Biloxi. Lots of choices. Favorites include Hard rock and Beau Revage. Grab a rental car and New Orleans is 1:15 to the west. Head east less the hour to beautiful gulf beaches of Gulf Shores, AL or Pensacola, FL.

If you're not there for business, Bay St. Louis/Gulfport/Biloxi is a gambling town. Here is a groupon for Bay St. Louis to stay at the former Casino Magic if you act really quick:

Seems like a heckuva deal although I haven't been in there lately as I got fired as their customer a long time ago, back in days gone by it was pretty profitable place to hang out.

In the actual town of Gulfport is the Island View which I recommend rather than casinos owned by out of town corporate interests. No point in going to a "chain" like Beau Rivage (MGM Resorts) or Hard Rock unless you're getting a great deal like the one Magic/now Hollywood is offering.

Wish I could find this to book. Not on DL nor showing on ITA, at least in latter part of the year. KVS pops up $133 SFO-GPT base fare, but rules show it's only good for travel on/before April 9.

OP/Others: further info...fare basis? sample dates? was it an apparition or pulled already?

Drive about an hour and fifteen minutes to New Orleans :D

Actually, as mentioned, there are casinos in Gulfport and Biloxi. There's a beach, sort of. And about 10 minutes east of Biloxi there is a small artsy town called Ocean Springs that is great for dinner and drinks.

It's still showing in reverse (GPT-SFO) in April and May, early June. Some dates appear in September, but those appear to require longer stays. I'm not seeing anything past that.

I was stumped, too. I guess Channa wanted to make us all look it up. :)

Nice fare, obviously.

Sorry about that, guys. I was hurriedly posting this before door close on a plane.

In addition to the items posted above, GPT can also be an alternate for MSY (about 1:20 drive to downtown New Orleans).
