Hello, I passed by the construction site on 441 and was happy to see the construction of the new Seminole Hollywood Hard Rock Casino and Resort. I hope you will be able to get full casino gambling. It would save me a lot of time in enjoying your casino locally, instead of going to Vegas and on the local boats. Do you think you can get full gaming? I'm excited and hope you can get it.HNARTIST@aol.com

Myself and my family will be taking our summer vacation as we normally do in Orlando this August but as you can imagine you can only take so much Mickey Mouse! But, as we have come to love Florida, we wanted to find different things to do.So after reading a little bit about the Seminoles, I have been surfing the net and have found your web site and would like to know some details about the above safaris and the museum.
The things are: How can I book for my wife and my 2 teenage sons? How much would it cost to do the safari stay the night in 2 of your chickees and see your museum? And finally, what time of the day would we need to arrive to do all of the above?
Thank You for your time

Thank you for your interest in our project. We expect to open the first phase of the new facility in mid-June 2003 with the final grand opening of the entire new facility in April 2004.There are no new card games planned at this time, but there will be many new gaming machines with titles you may have heard of like Double Diamond, Stars and Stripes, etc.
We have some of these in play right now. We look forward to seeing you soon.
