A New Smoke-Free Resort Experience is Coming
More Choice. More Comfort. More Ways to Play.
Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa is creating an all-new smoke-free resort experience, designed for guests who prefer a completely smoke-free environment from the moment they arrive until the moment they leave.
This exciting enhancement will extend beyond gaming to include a fully smoke-free arrival and resort experience, including valet, lobby areas, restaurants, bars, gaming, spa and pool amenities, giving guests more choice, greater comfort and an elevated way to enjoy the resort.
During this transition, Hard Rock Event Center will temporarily become a smoke-free gaming destination featuring 682 all-new slot machines and more than 30 table games while we create a permanent smoke-free gaming space within the resort.
All restaurants, bars, amenities and hotel accommodations will remain open and available throughout this enhancement.
