The party is underway at Peal River Resort, celebrating the hotel and casino complex’s 30th anniversary.
Music, fireworks, and promotions are in full force this week across the resort with public invited to attend. Pearl River Resort, owned and operated by the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, opened the Silver Star Hotel & Casino on July 1, 1994. It now includes five properties in Neshoba County: Silver Star, Bok Homas Casino, Golden Moon Hotel & Casino, Dancing Rabbit Inn, and Geyser Falls.
“We are delighted to celebrate three decades of business at Pearl River Resort,” Tribal Chief Cyrus Ben said. “I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to our day one associates who started with us back in 1994. We are proud to have 62 of them still working with us today. I also want to thank all of our associates for their dedication and hard work, and our guests for their loyalty and patronage. We look forward to many more years of success and growth.”
Music
After hosting Brian McKnight this past Saturday to get the celebration going, two more big acts will be coming to Pearl River Resort this week.
On Friday, July 5, Boyz II Men will take the stage with popular hits such “End of the Road,” “On Bended Knee,” and “Motownphilly.” The R&B group, which dominated the charts in the 1990s, is still widely listened to today.
On Saturday, July 6, Big & Rich will join special guests Gretchen Wilson and Cowboy True to rock out to tunes such as “Comin’ to Your City,” “Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy),” “Redneck Woman,” and “Fake ID.”
Both concerts will be held at the Silver Star Convention Center. Attendees must be 21 years of age or older to enter. Tickets can be purchased here.
