By New Year's Eve, three of the Coast's 13 casinos should be back in business, but it will take months or years for others to rebuild.

The three casinos that will open by the first of the year - Imperial Palace, Isle of Capri and the Palace - are all in Biloxi. Beau Rivage plans to reopen on Aug. 29, the anniversary of the hurricane. Treasure Bay also plans to reopen next year.

A rundown of reopening schedules for other casinos:

• Boomtown Casino could open with a new barge within six months.

• Casino Magic Bay St. Louis will open its golf course in mid-December and could open a casino in nine months.

• Hard Rock Biloxi plans to rebuild, but its plans are on hold because of legal issues with its banker and insurance settlements.

• In Hancock County, Silver Slipper executives said they hope to begin construction next month and open within a year.

• Treasure Bay Casino could reopen about six months after the company receives approval to build a 70,000-square-foot casino on the south side of its hotel.

• Another new casino, Bacaran Bay Casino, will present its site plans to the city of Biloxi in the next couple of months and ask the Gaming Commission at its January meeting for permission to proceed with construction.
