Actually, there was a mandatory evacuation order for much the Mississippi Gulf Coast, as of Sunday morning. Casinos closed at 2AM on Sunday.
That you didn't hear about the order in the national media is a function of their New Orleans focus. But I'm sure the local Gulfport-Biloxi stations carried all relevant information.

That's really great news, best I've heard all day.
Thanks.
On that note, I'm calling it a night.
