Hard Rock Tampa Now Biggest Casino in Florida

The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa has just completed the first phase of a $120 million make-over, adding 50,000 sq.ft. of casino space and thus earning the distinction of being the biggest casino in Florida.

Also part of the makeover is the Council Oak Steak & Seafood restaurant with a featured entree of Alaskan king crab from the boats seen on the Discovery Channel's "Deadliest Catch." Why does it seem that food just tastes better when we know someone risked life-and-limb to procure it to bring it to our mouths? Diners can also gorge on dry-aged, USDA prime beef from its in-house butcher shop, live Maine lobster, and line-caught Florida fish.

A second phase of construction is expected to be finished by mid-November and will include more casino games, a Fresh Harvest restaurant and a VIP lounge area. The casino has also added the "WonderWall," a video waterfall, because who wants the real thing when you can have an HD version?
