From Gulfport–Biloxi International Airport (GPT) — fastest option
Gulfport–Biloxi International Airport (GPT) is the nearest airport to IP Casino Resort Spa and is commonly the quickest way to reach the property. Travel time is typically 15–20 minutes by car, depending on traffic.
Ground transport options from GPT include rental cars (rentals are available near the airport), taxis, rideshare services, and area shuttles for an extra charge. If you plan to drive, use the hotel address (850 Bayview Ave, Biloxi, MS 39530) in your GPS.
- By taxi or rideshare: direct trip to 850 Bayview Ave, usually 15–20 minutes
- Rental car: free self-parking and free valet parking are available on-site at the resort
- Area shuttle: offered to guests for an extra fee (confirm scheduling with the hotel or airport)
| Option | Notes |
|---|---|
| Taxi / Rideshare | Direct, curbside drop-off at IP Casino Resort Spa |
| Rental car | Free self-parking and free valet parking on-site |
| Airport shuttle | Available for a fee — check timing and reservations |
From New Orleans (MSY) or Mobile (MOB) — alternatives
New Orleans Louis Armstrong (MSY) is a common alternative for travelers who want more flight choices; the drive to the resort is roughly 75–90 miles depending on route and traffic, so expect a longer drive time. Mobile Regional Airport (MOB) is another option, closer than MSY but farther than GPT.
If you land at MSY or MOB, you can rent a car at the airport or take an intercity bus or train part of the way and finish with a taxi/rideshare. Plan for extra travel time and check coastal traffic, especially during holiday weekends or event days.
- New Orleans (MSY): more flight options, longer drive — plan for a full drive day
- Mobile (MOB): intermediate option in distance and flight selection
- Intercity connections: Amtrak and Greyhound serve the Biloxi area; you can transfer to local taxi/rideshare for the final leg
| Airport | When to use it |
|---|---|
| MSY (New Orleans) | If you need more flight choices or international connections |
| MOB (Mobile) | If schedules from Mobile fit better than GPT or MSY |
Taxi, rideshare and local transfers
Taxis and rideshare services (Uber/Lyft where available) provide door-to-door service to IP Casino Resort Spa. Request a drop-off at the hotel entrance and confirm the driver knows to use Bayview Avenue.
If you prefer arranged transfers, many rental or private shuttle operators will meet you at the airport for a flat fee; check pickup locations at GPT or the arrival terminal and confirm the operator’s Biloxi drop-off point.
- Enter 'IP Casino Resort Spa' or 850 Bayview Ave in your rideshare app for the correct pickup/drop-off.
