BILOXI, Mississippi – As reported by the Biloxi Sun Herald: "The proposed Rock-N-Roll Casino has a new name and a new developer.
"The developer, Onnam Entertainment of Philadelphia, Pa., wants to put the Havana Casino Resort where the music-themed project had been proposed. Onnam is scheduled to go before the Mississippi Gaming Commission next week to have 10 acres on Clay Point declared a legal gambling site - the first step in the state permit process.
"The property is owned by Ray Sims of Hattiesburg.
"…The Havana Casino is the latest in a series of new ventures proposed for the Coast, which already has a dozen casinos.
