This impressive lobby welcomes guests to the
Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa.
The more than $700 million expansion
of the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel
& Casino in Tampa had its official
unveiling with the brand’s signature
Guitar Smash and a high wire walk by Nik
Wallenda and his 66-year-old mother Delilah
160 feet above the crowd. This expansion
increases the entertainment and dining options
to make the hotel and casino one of the most
visited attractions in the country. The grand
opening festivities began with a red carpet walk
of celebrities and then a performance by the
hi-tech neon and LED group Light Balance from
America’s Got Talent with their jaw-dropping
acrobatic and dance routine.
