Seminole Casino Coconut Creek

My favorite local casino. Great eats. The breakfast restaurant inside has the best pancakes I’ve ever had. NYY steak is a legit steakhouse. Fun place to go for games and food.

I love the Seminole Nation. I have spent a lot of time studying and visiting their important historical sites in South Florida. They are the only native people the US government was never able to force to surrender. There were 200,00 Seminole living in Florida in 1513 and after the Third Seminole War there were less than 200 members left. The survivors hid out in the Everglades. After the decimation of their nation by the US government in the 1800's they are thriving today. They started with the humble beginnings of bingo and have since transformed that into a large scale expansion into the gaming industry.One result of that expansion is the Seminole Casino located in Coconut Creek. It is a large casino where you can play slot machines as well as table games like poker, baccarat, and black jack. They have several restaurants in the casual and fine dining categories, bars and lounges and an entertainment venue called The Pavilion that hosts national music and comedy acts.I don't come to the casino because I don't gamble and they allow smoking which I am not able to tolerate. Apparently there is a smoke free upper level that is supposed to be somewhat better but from what I hear it is still smoky. Instead I come once a year for their Fourth of July celebration held on July 3. From 7-9 they have food trucks and music and it's topped off by a Grucci of New York fire work show at 9 PM. The event is always popular and if you want to park in the garage you must get there by 7 at the latest. I came later and found a spot on the outskirts of the casino property. The Fourth of July celebration is a fun free family event offered to the community. While I won't be at the casino anytime soon I plan to visit their Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum on July 28th for their Seminole War Day which will have special exhibits.

The machines were a lot of fun and we got decent play time. There are tons of games to choose from. Tasty food too. We got a bagel from the deli and it was delicious.

Ate outside at the Sunset Grill while playing roulette and the food was great. Got some slots in before watching the NBA playoffs in the smoke free bar.

Been to a lot of casinos. This was the first time I've been here. At first it seems very desolated, but as the night went on, it started to fill up. It's very very smoky, crowd is extremely loud, but it was fun. I felt pretty safe, even though I didn't see very much security. It was a good experience but I do like the hard rock better not sure if I'll return, but overall was a decent experience.
