Dear Linda,
Yes, we will be open on both days. We are closed on Monday’s and Holiday’s. I would say you need to allow at least 2 – 4 hours depending on your time allowance. I have had the privilege of working here at the museum for 15 months, and I am learning new things every day about the Seminole Tribe of Florida and their culture. If you would like to visit our library, you would need to make an appointment with Anne McCudden, our Curator of Archives. You can contact her via email at amccudden@semtribe.com.
Thanks for the question,
Shawna Trnka
Administrative Assistant

Dear Editor,
Can you tell me if the Tampa casino has been rebuilt or remodeled? It was pretty bad when I was there in 2002. I was told a Hard Rock was being built on the property.

Thank you for your inquiry regarding the casino on the Seminole Reservation in Tampa, Fla.
We are in fact building the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino at 5223 North Orient Road in Tampa. Our new and expanded property will feature more than 1,800 gaming machines including popular titles such as Red, White and Blue, Double Diamond, Wheel of Fortune and Little Green Men as well as Live Poker and High Stakes Bingo.
The property will have 12 restaurants and bars for you to take a break from the great casino action. And, we will have 250 luxury rooms in our newly built hotel tower for you to enjoy an extended day, soaking up all that we have to offer. Additional amenities include a lagoon style pool area, day spa and convention/meeting space for groups of up to 800.
The casino floor is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and our Grand Opening is set for March 11th with a blowout celebration featuring Hootie and the Blowfish in concert. Also in March, we will be giving away a Trip-a-Day to any Hard Rock city in the U.S. and a Grand Prize drawing on March 31 for a 2004 H2 Hummer.
As you can see, we have truly built a world class entertainment facility and encourage you to come and visit. If I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to write.
Best of Luck,
