Although there are no casinos very close to Disney, you can locate one just an hour away. If you are traveling the state, you can also find them down south near Ft. Lauderdale and even in the Everglades. Disney is often a great destination for families, but if you are also looking for adult fun, check out a Seminole casino for the best in gaming.
Located about 70 miles to Disney, the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino is a full-service casino located on the outskirts of Tampa. With a 250-room hotel on property, the Hard Rock is directly adjacent to the Tampa Fairgrounds and the For Amphitheater. It currently has 32 poker tables and 2,200 gaming machines. Two restaurants and a beautiful pool add to the charm of this modern facility. A 50-foot guitar welcomes you to the hotel, and two restaurants and a bar round out the fun just outside of the Tampa city limits.
Sister property to the Hard Rock in Tampa, the Hollywood Hard Rock Hotel & Casino is located 184 miles southeast of Disney. With more than 100 acres, the Hollywood Hard Rock is substantially larger than its Tampa counterpart and is connected to an outside shopping area with 22 shops called the Seminole Paradise. With 481 rooms, the hotel is very large and beautiful. With memorabilia adorning the walls and flat-screen televisions throughout playing rock videos, this casino has gaming of all kinds, including blackjack and poker.
Located just more than 200 miles from Disney, the Coconut Creek Casino is part of the Hard Rock family and boasts more than 1,500 gaming machines. Substantially smaller than its brethren, it is less that 25 miles away from the Hard Rock in Hollywood. Solely a gambling destination with no shopping or accommodations, the Coconut Creek Casino has some dining options and poker tables located on the second floor as well as a full-service bar.
Located very close to the Everglades, this older casino is off the beaten path on the way from Tampa to Ft. Lauderdale. Roughly 200 miles from Disney, this is great place to stop on Interstate 75 before entering the Everglades to cross over the state of Florida. With the least amount of gaming machines of the four mentioned at 1,150, this Immokalee casino has 38 gaming tables and has no hotel or shopping areas similar to its Coconut Creek counterpart.
