The proposed $1.2 billion UMUSIC Broadwater hotel and casino in Biloxi became a lot more real Thursday when a timeline for construction and a vision of the amenities were disclosed.

Construction on the waterfront resort on 266 acres along U.S. 90 is set to begin in 2021 and be finalized in 2023, said Robert Lavia, chairman of Dakia Global U-Ventures. The company is partnering with Universal Music Group, the largest music company in the world, to build UMUSIC resorts in Biloxi, Atlanta and Orlando.

Lavia said the Biloxi resort will bring:

1,150 hotel rooms

1,000 construction jobs

2,500 permanent jobs

12,000 seat entertainment venue

18-hole golf course and a new marina

Music-themed decor and celebrity restaurants

Lavia said he was releasing just enough details to inspire people while holding back some surprises.

“Wherever you look you’ll be wowed,” he said, and they also will have the security and the latest protocols to be prepared for whatever the next pandemic may be.

At the front and center of the hotel tower will be a soaring glass music venue, which Gilich said will be rated for 160 mph winds, a massive video board that Gilich joked people would be able to watch concerts from Ship Island, miles off shore.

The reason Biloxi and Mississippi were chosen as one the first three UMUSIC hotels is, “The rich, powerful music that has come from the region,” Lavia said.

“Mississippi is the birthplace of America’s music,” said Gov. Tate Reeves — BB King and the blues, Elvis and rock & Roll and Jimmy Rodgers and country, he said.

The investment of more than $1 billion and the 2,500 jobs is the kind of “bold projects” the state needs, he said. It will boost the state’s image, he said, and provide a life-changing investment its people.

Universal Music represents many of the biggest names in music that potentially could come to Biloxi.

“Our intention is to create a world class facility to bring some of the greatest talent, both regionally and internationally,” he said.

Lavia said the new resort also will use cutting edge technology like artificial intelligence and holograms to deliver entertainment.

Beyond the concerts, sporting events, fashion shows and other planned events, he said the developers plan more than amenities for visitors.

He said UMUSIC will provide incubator Incubator programs for those looking to create a career in the music business and help local entertainers, engineers and digital start-ups launch their careers. They also will buy food, artwork and furniture from local suppliers.

“From the minute you step in Biloxi you feel at home,” he said, and that Southern hospitality is what makes the developers so passionate about Mississippi and Biloxi.

Kiss' restaurant chain Rock & Brews is about to be expanded into a casino complex in Biloxi, Mississippi, according to Ultimate Classic Rock. A partner involved in the project, the RAM Group's Tom Moore, told Casino.org the plans for the casino 'include a 3,000-capacity concert hall, 300-room hotel and a casino with 1,000 slot machines.' The property previously housed a casino owned by Jimmy Buffett under his Margaritaville brand.

Funding for the new project is already in place along with site approval being granted. A casino license is expected to be approved in the next few weeks.

A while back, Gene Simmons told us about some prospective business deals he was working on, proving that he has many other interests beyond being a bassist in a legendary rock band: 'There's some real estate deals in China. There are eight different projects -- one is a 55-story skyscraper, a theme park, and lots of other stuff; a cable television network; some stocks. I mean, I can't be too specific about this stuff, but there's a lot of big stuff, any one of which could make Kiss, the entire entity, look like a popcorn fart -- but would be nowhere near as much fun.'

Guitarist Tommy Thayer gave an update on the upcoming definitive Kiss documentary tentatively due out in 2021. Thayer told Sweden's RockSverige.se, 'I think we're at least halfway into it. The director is John Dorsey and he's done great things before. We've done interviews on camera and he's putting together a lot of historic footage and talking to a lot of different sources, including us and our archives. It's coming along. I've seen a little bit and I think it will be really exciting and really well done.'

Thayer explained that the doc is featuring unique fan sourced footage as well as deep dives from the Kiss vaults: 'We have a lot of great stuff in our archives for certain, but there's still a lot of other unique and rare stuff out there that we don't have. It's a matter of sourcing that stuff.'

Paul Stanley told us he's amazed at how quickly the time has flown since the band started: 'It really has gone by in the blink of an eye. It's staggering to have all the excitement, and the challenges, the victories, the soap operas -- everything. And yet it seems, y'know, like the blink of an eye.'
