Sports betting, signature drinks and comfort food all in one place? Look no further than Beau Rivage Resort & Casino’s new sports betting, entertainment and dining destination, TAP Book, Bar & Bistreaux.
“Since Beau Rivage launched legalized sports betting in Mississippi last August, we have ushered in a new era for sports entertainment and driven more and new visitors to the region,” said Beau Rivage President and COO Travis Lunn. “MGM Resorts is the trusted leader in sport betting and Beau Rivage’s new multimillion-dollar state- of-the-art TAP Book, Bar and Bistreaux raises the
stakes yet again by offering a southern twist on the respected TAP brand for a new high-energy sports entertainment experience like no other.”
The atmosphere of TAP finds the perfect balance between industrial and coastal décor, pairing sturdy brick and ironwork, exposed beams and welcoming earth tones with nautical elements reminiscent of a luxury yacht. The walls are decked out with more than 100 HD screens, including a massive 24-foot wide by 14-foot tall video wall. Its 70 screens can operate individually, in various combinations or as one huge display, and
are flanked by two additional video walls
