Last week I visited The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Tampa. The Hard Rock is a very nice hotel just off of I-4. The Hard Rock has all the amenities that make a short vacation.

The Casino is very large and holds more than enough slot machines to keep you and your friends entertained. The Casino is also home to the largest poker room I have ever seen. They are also expecting to get many of the other Las Vegas card games soon. They did not have exact dates on when they would be getting the other card games.

The Rock is home to some of Tampa's great clubs and bars. The lobby bar is a great place to have a good time at night. Heather said, "the lobby bar is great, its safe there are a lot of cute guys." John said, "this place is awesome, the girls are really hot." The really hot club to be in on weekends is of course Floyds. Floyds is great club to dance and party in. Paul said, "This place is great; I come here all the time." Britney followed that with "this is the best place to party." The center bar is located by the slot machines and it is complete with video screens and a powerful sound system. The center bar is a great place to sit and drink with your friends.

The Hard Rock has recently expanded so there are both new restaurants and old. One of the old classics is the green room that serves normal American food at reasonable rates. Upstairs you will find the fresh harvest buffet that will serve you anything from normal American food to Sushi to Italian and everything in between. The buffet is similar to the large Las Vegas buffets and it is all you can eat. Also upstairs is an Asian restaurant featuring Chinese and Japanese favorites including Sushi. If you win a big jackpot at the poker table or the slot machines you might want to check out council oak, which is the premier steak house of the Hard Rock. It is very high priced which is why I recommend going there after a big win.

The Hard Rock has some very nice hotel rooms priced from $170 to $370. They are complete with all the amenities. The Hard Rock features an excellent pool bar area with all the amenities, a huge, deep pool and great company. They also have a full spa with fitness center for you to stay in shape and to relax afterwards.

The Hard is great place to spend an evening or take a short vacation. Where else can you take a vacation and have the chance to make money.
