A 200-seat Italian restaurant is scheduled to open next fall and updates are planned for existing eateries. Guests will also be able to dine at a 120-seat pool grill and bar or get pampered at a 25,000-square-foot salon and spa. There will be three new 'ultra-lavish' outdoor pools, according to the casino. The top floor of the new hotel will have a private gaming parlor, exclusive check-in and private elevators. That means, in total, the Hard Rock will have about 800 rooms and 88 suites. The tower hotel will offer 564 hotel rooms and suites. Seminole Hard Rock says there will be a total of 5,000 slot machines and nearly 200 gaming tables once the new plans are complete. Its latest plan dwarfs those recent renovations.
'Though, clearly, the details have evolved.'Īfter the gaming compact legislature failed, the hotel moved forward with a smaller $100 million expansion that opened last year - no hotel remodel, but a mezzanine casino, 500 new slot machines and 15 new tables. 'That gave the tribe stability for the full-scale expansion,' said casino spokesman Gary Bitner. A year later, the tribe made a deal with the state to keep operating blackjack tables and other banked card games until 2030.
