FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.
It starts with the parking and ends with the meals: Changes are everywhere at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek; to the tune $150 million.
At the grand opening for an extensive expansion this week, numerous upgrades made to the casino--which is a sister property to the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla.--will be revealed.
Among the additions: three restaurants, including a high-end steakhouse, a mid-priced Italian restaurant and a New York-style deli; a 1,220-seat indoor concert pavilion (replacing the casino's temporary slot area that was known as "The Site,"), and numerous casino improvements.
"You could take this casino as it sits today and drop it onto Las Vegas strip or in Atlantic City and it would be very successful and popular," said general manager Steve Bonner.
