The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida is a renowned gaming resort that offers an immersive entertainment experience to its guests. Located approximately 20 miles north of Miami, this luxurious destination has been a staple for travelers and locals alike since its opening in 2002.
History and Ownership
The Seminole Hard Rock Florida was originally built by the Seminole Tribe of Florida on a site once occupied hardrockflorida.ca by the iconic Hard Rock Cafe & Store. In 1994, the tribe purchased a tract of land where a small casino and entertainment center operated from 1979 to 1995 as the ‘Broward County Greyhound Park’. The property then changed hands multiple times before being rebranded in its current form. Today, the Seminole Tribe operates it under their Hard Rock International brand.
