About Pearl River Resort
Overview
Pearl River Resort encompasses two casino properties — Silver Star Casino and Golden Moon Casino — operated by the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians in Philadelphia, Neshoba County. Together, they represent the largest tribal gaming complex in the Deep South and one of the most complete destination resort experiences in all of Mississippi, competing directly with the Gulf Coast properties for the state's top casino resort designation.
The Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians have been a recognized tribal entity continuously since before European contact and represent one of the largest Native American tribes remaining east of the Mississippi River. Their gaming enterprise, which began in 1994, has transformed Neshoba County's economy and funded tribal healthcare, education, housing, and cultural programs at a scale previously impossible without gaming revenue.
Gaming
Silver Star Casino and Golden Moon Casino together feature over 2,800 slot machines and 80+ live table games. The poker room runs regular cash games. A full-service spa, championship golf courses (Dancing Rabbit — one of Mississippi's finest), and the Arena at Pearl River Resort for major entertainment events complete the resort experience.
Hotel
The Pearl River Resort hotel provides premium accommodations in central Mississippi — a 24-hour destination with resort amenities that make it a viable alternative to the Gulf Coast properties for inland Mississippi and Alabama visitors.
