Seminole Hard Rock Casino Stay

               Feel like getting away for a few days? Sun, fun, great food and a bit of gaming? This is the ideal place located in Hollywood Florida. No it is not located on the Beach but once on the property grounds there is really no reason to leave since everything is already there for you including a Grand Pool Oasis area surrounded by waterfalls, lounge chairs and private cabanas with TV's.
It is about a 15 minute ride from Fort Lauderdale airport by Taxi and about 10 miles from Hollywood or Fort Lauderdale Beachs.
            The food choice's vary from a really good food court to a casual Hooters and up scale to Gourmet Restaurants not to mention  the many snack stands through out the resort including exotic coffee's and cakes. Relax by the Pool Side tables and enjoy a nice cup of coffee while staying in touch or doing business on your computer with the free wi-fi internet access! A bonus to be able to send live action images of you and your surroundings via internet!
            Hard Rock hosts a very nice Casino and offers Players Cards with bonus incentives when your a first time member and you dont have to be staying at the Hotel to be a member. Members will be kept informed of events and specials all year. By all means use your Players Card! Slots are somewhat tight in my opinion and game like entertaining. I dont find them to be the same as Vegas or Atlantic City as in the Major Casinos but still fun and wort while. The claim as "Vegas Style" slots seems to pertain to one certain area of the Casino with a few of these style machines thus allowing the Casino to advertise "Vegas Style" machines. A visitor to Vegas or Atlantic City will know the difference right away. But Hey your here for fun!
        Card Players will enjoy the variety of card game available from Black Jack to Poker but I have not seen many, if any, table's for the casual player with low table stakes. Most start at $25.00 with a few $10.00. There are no Crap tables or Roulette tables as of yet.
Rooms are very nice and well equiped. Spacious rooms include a very large bathroom with a shower you wont want to get out of and the free bottles of lotions and shampoos are top quality. You can have your choice of one bed or two and still there is a space for a large sitting area! Digital all the way from Tv's, DVD Players and CD equipment. There is much more of course. I would suggest your choice of view be of the Pool Area since the surrounding area views are, how can I say, not very pretty at all since you are actually located in the middle of a industrial area that is not very well kept.
Most of the people here are "Locals" who reside close by so dont think that all the crowds are tourists. Locals dont spend the night so there are always vacant rooms available. Being such the most busy times are on the weekends when local have been paid and want some entertainment with a bit of gaming.
Is it worth the trip? Yes by all means visit! I suggest a short visit as this Casino, due to it's location and surrounding's, limits any off property sight seeing found on the Vegas Strip or Atlantic City Boards. When your here at the Hard Rock this is your only base unless you care to take a Taxi to the beach or other places for a average fee of $40.00 to $50.00. Two, three or four day trips are enough time to keep you occupied and entertained here without having to roam.
