The Palace in Biloxi MS has added a 50-foot by 300-foot long barge to the south side of the existing barge. It will be called “The Sports Zone” and has over (50) big screen plasma TVs and one that is 15-foot by 30-foot at the middle of the barge. There will be over 500 new slot machines throughout the gaming floor. The south wall has an 11- foot by 107-foot mural of the University of Southern Mississippi football field digitally applied to the vinyl wall covering that came in (6) 30 yard rolls. The walls and soffits around the perimeter of the barge received a metallic scuff master coating. The main entrance and three pony walls received a wood veneer wallpaper that came in 36- inch wide rolls and had 6-inch squares of wood glued side by side on the paper backing. The floor of the barge has a rubber mat that is glued down 6-foot out from the outer wall and runs all the way around the barge. The architect had us put (3) 4-inch strips of polyurethane 1-foot by 9-foot from the carpet’s edge. We used masking tape to layout the lines, over 2800 linear feet. It was difficult to layout and paint the strips with so many different trades working on the barge at the same time, but we pulled it off and they came out great. They built new walking piers on the north and east sides of the barge connecting them to the existing fishing bridge. We also painted the handrails with Palace Gold and the dry standpipe red for the Fire Department. The Grand opening was Super Bowl Sunday 2004.
