Description
At a height of 335 ft (102 m)}, the IP's hotel tower is the second tallest building in Mississippi (only the Beau Rivage is taller, while both casinos have the same number of floors equaling 32). Because the base of the IP Hotel is elevated some ten feet above the base of the Beau Rivage, it appears to be the taller of the two, although it is actually twelve feet shorter. Additionally, the IP Hotel features windows on every floor, while the Beau Rivage Hotel features windows that span two floors, which makes the height difference even more deceiving.

Famous quotes containing the word description:
“Once a child has demonstrated his capacity for independent functioning in any area, his lapses into dependent behavior, even though temporary, make the mother feel that she is being taken advantage of....What only yesterday was a description of the child’s stage in life has become an indictment, a judgment.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
“An intentional object is given by a word or a phrase which gives a description under which.”
—Gertrude Elizabeth Margaret Anscombe (b. 1919)
“The next Augustan age will dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last, some curious traveller from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St. Paul’s, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
