Original Dover and TK Modded Traction Low and High Rise Elevators - Beau Rivage (Biloxi, MS)
Flickering Lights Warning. Please watch at your own risk.
Yep, these are getting modded slowly... BOOOOOOOOOOOO!
These are some High Rise Dovers with Traditional and EPCO Bar Buttons, CE Indicators, and Custom Old School Style Lanterns! Sadly, these are slowly getting modded by Thyssenkrupp for literally no reason besides a newly going "tRafLOmAtIc oBsOlETe" garbage excuse by the looks of it.
I rode one modded and one original on each set. The original elevators run well and are holding up great, so this mod is literally pointless. How about the modded ones?
To give credit, at least TK is re-using the old lanterns and keeping the cabs, but the interior fixtures is just the lame MAD stuff you are use to seeing. The Modded Low Rise seems to run fine, but the Modded High Rise one runs like crap already. Ever heard the phrase "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"; well I guess they didn't because the high rise ones are pretty much downgraded by the looks of it. Not very happy about this mod. That being said, if you want to see these one last time fully original, GET DOWN HERE FAST! I'll give it one more year before these are fully modded, and make sure you get the other elevators here as well, as they may be on the chopping block as well.

Custom Dover Oildraulic Hydraulic Elevator - Beau Rivage Casino (Biloxi, MS)
This fancy elevator leads to from the casino to the convention center part of the Beau Rivage. Like the other Dovers here, this has a mix of Dover Traditional and EPCO Bar Buttons on the inside, but interestingly has Dover Vandal Resistant Call Buttons this time. They also use the same Custom Lanterns as the others! Runs very well. How long until this gets pointlessly modded is my question...

EPIC Montgomery Kone Traction Elevators - Island View Hotel/Island View Casino Resort (Gulfport MS)
We got a set of 4 Gorgeous Montgomery Kones Series 90 Installs with Series 220 Fixtures! These might have the best cab designs I've ever seen in my opinion, with the LakePointe Corp Center Office Buildings in Charlotte coming in 2nd Place. The marble mixes in so well with the shiny cabs and is laid out in an epic way. The elevators run really quick and really great! A must see if you are old enough to visit this place!
NOTE: This is a 21+ Resort! Do note that these are also 100% keycarded, so you will have to hitchhike with someone like I did in the video to get up if you aren't staying here.

Otis Modded Traction Elevators - Beach View Hotel - Island View Casino Resort (Gulfport, MS)
These were a motherfucking nightmare to film. Two out of four elevators were working and there were a shit ton of people waiting for an elevator. It took 15 minutes of failed shoots to get a little something out of it, and the take still was kinda crappy due to the current conditions. Oh well...
Don't know what these modded, likely Dovers, but these are pretty crap Otis Mods. They sway a lot and judging by the fact half of them were down during my visit, they don't hold up for shit.

Abused Montgomery Kone Traction Elevators - Harrah's Gulf Coast Hotel Parking Deck (Biloxi, MS)
Honestly shocked to see some Original Monty Kones considering the main hotel elevators were modded, but for how long???
These are in TERRIBLE SHAPE. Fixtures are beaten in, the door operators are horrid sounding, some call button inputs don't work, these elevators stop on random floors... I mean, DAMN! I see these getting modded in a year or two and they NEED it. Let's just hope they don't get $5 Modded, which would be ironic considering these are in $5 Condition. The running condition could be worse I guess, but it's still rough.
In the casino parking garage, there's another set of 2 Montgomery Kones like this, but they are both broken down and likely abandoned at this point. The elevator lobby of that one is pretty scary that I likely wouldn't chance filming them, even if they ran.

Schindler 6400 Modded Traction Elevators - Harrah's Gulf Coast (Biloxi, MS)
Originally some Montgomery Kone Series 90 Installs with Conventional Fixtures (Innovation), they got modded by Schindler around Circa 2018/2019 with a 6400 Mod Pack. I find it funny how the outside call buttons and lanterns have some effort to make it appear more "original" while the inside is just a lazy Slap On Style Panel. Some elevators have Sun Coverings where the inside lanterns used to be.
The running quality is varied from elevator to elevator. Some ride fine, while others, like the one I rode in the video, are a bit rough running wise. This mod really isn't anything special. I do like the Harrah's Engravings on the COP's though.
In case you guys are wondering, yes, there are service elevators here. Yes, they are also modded the same way these are.

Scenic Schindler 330A Hydraulic Elevators - Gulfport Biloxi Airport Parking Deck (Gulfport, MS)
Apologies for the weird filming angle, I must've accidentally pressed a weird cam mode that gave this a wide shot view. I've since fixed this for the later videos.
This tiny airport also has a tiny parking deck. The elevators are some rather simplistic 330A's with Scenic Views. They are a bit crusty and run a tad little rough, but could be much worse knowing how bad 330TinCAn quality can get.

My first official Mississippi Elevator and uhhh... well it's an interesting start. This looks like a former Generic that used to have GAL JetPlus fixtures, but got modded in the Circa Late 1990's by Montgomery Kone. The GAL Chevron Lanterns remain behind and have "Cow Bell" Chimes! However, everything else is replaced with Conventional (Innovation Universal) Fixtures. This has a neat motor and an interesting scrolling Dot Matrix Indicator as well.

This is an original Otis Lexan with a really cool COP. It features both the buttons and the floor indicator on a compact and small COP! This elevator runs pretty well and despite it's lifeless cab design, is in pretty good shape. The External PI was replaced with a Serge? one, but otherwise, it is pretty much completely original.

Terrible but EARLY Schindler Hydraulic Elevator - Village Oaks Professional Park (Rock Hill, SC)
Built in 1989, this building has an interesting looking elevator. What looks like a Westinghouse at first is actually a VERY EARLY Schindler put in around 1989 or 1990. You can tell as not only is the door operator something very obscure and not GAL, but the placement of the emergency light in the center of the COP gives it away that this is actually a Schindler. Now if the emergency light was in the top corner, then it would've been a Westy, but this one is definitely more Schindler.
This is a pretty neat find, but sadly this thing runs like garbage. Hopefully, that can be fixed up.
FUN FACT: This is still listed as a Westinghouse on the records, but I still stand by my assessment. A Schindlerhouse if you will. Keep in mind some records have actual TK's listed as Dover instead.

Well, an Evolution or a Regular Endura would've been more ideal. This thing is only 5 years old and already sounds super sketchy. Running quality isn't good either. There were already reports of some Endura MRL's catching on fire (I think somewhere in Florida I believe), so let's see how long this lasts...
