Miccosukee Casino & Resort is a nine-story resort and casino located in the western outskirts of Miami, Florida, on the edge of the Everglades.[1] It has a colored statue of a young Miccosukee boy outside the front entrance.[2][3] It has been quoted to be "one of the most unusual resort destinations in Florida" due to the contrast between the Native American village surroundings and the casino.[4] Established in 1999 at a reported cost of $45 million, it is operated by about 400 members of the Miccosukee Tribe.[5][6][7] In 2009, it was estimated that the Miccosukee Resort generated revenue of around $75 million a year.[8]

[edit]The resort boasts 256 guest rooms and 56 suites, with guest facilities including a casino, dining, a conference center, and banquet facilities. Various events, including Boxing and MMA, are hosted at Miccosukee Casino.[9] The casino includes slot machines and a poker section where it regularly hosts poker tournaments.[10][11][12]

- La Brisa: Latin fusion cuisine
- Tempt Lounge: upscale bar
- B1 Grill: Mixed foods
- Max's Grab & Go: 24-hour kiosk
Other
[edit]The Miccosukee Golf and Country Club is also located nearby.[13] On September 29, 2011, Miccosukee Resort, along with Romance 106.7FM, Budweiser, 411 pain and Walgreens, organized a Latin music concert in Miami named "Una Copa con Romance", attended by some 1500 people and artists such as Charlie Zaa.[14] The resort is a setting in the 2010 Jonathan King novel Acts of Nature.[15]
