The sky’s the limit next week at the Beau Rivage.
On Thursday around lunchtime, comic daredevil Bello Nock, star of Beau’s upcoming show “Fata Morgana,” will walk a wire 32 stories high, connecting both ends of the roof of the Beau Rivage Resort & Casino.
The casino says the feat is the first of its kind in Mississippi.
Nock holds a Guinness World Record for the first-ever high wire walk across a cruise ship at sea, and just four months ago he performed while suspended from beneath a hovering helicopter (to see that clip,click here).
