Seminole casino expansion open to public

TAMPA, Florida -- As reported by the St. Petersburg Times: "...At noon Thursday, the public got its first look at the $120 million expansion of the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa. The addition makes Tampa's Hard Rock the largest casino in Florida, with 3,075 gambling machines spread across a 3.3-acre gaming floor.

"That's about half the number of slot machines at such Connecticut Indian mega-casinos as the 7,200-slot Foxwoods Resorts and Casino, but more than the 2,170-slot Bally's Atlantic City and 2,000-slot Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

"...The second phase of the expansion opens Nov. 15 with a VIP lounge with a chef on duty and a high-stakes gaming room..."
