Hotels in New Orleans in good shape after Gustav


New Orleans hotels escaped the pounding they took from Katrina, due to Gustav's lesser force and to better preparation, those cleaning up after the hurricane say.

Damage is slight compared with 2005, says Kelly Schulz of the New Orleans Convention & Visitors Bureau. Many lodgings aim to reopen by early next week, depending on repairs, government re-entry guidelines and the return of evacuated staffers.

Meanwhile, damage to casino hotels in Biloxi, Miss., was minor compared with the beating they took from Katrina, says Mary Perez, Biloxi Sun Herald casino reporter. They were closed Tuesday, awaiting gaming commission permission to reopen, she says.

Let's support our own Gulf Coast and our neighbors in New Orleans by staying in one of their beautiful hotels. You can find great deals here!
