The Seminole Tribe of Florida will debut a new hotel at one of its casinos tomorrow.
The tribe added a 99-room, four-story hotel to the Seminole Casino Immokalee. The cost of the project was not reported.
“The hotel is really an investment. The tribe is reinvesting back into its business," Jim Gibson, the casino’s director of marketing, told The Naples Daily News.
The hotel is part of the tribe’s ongoing expansion of its gaming empire. Two additional projects worth $1.6 billion depend on approval of a new Class III gaming compact.
"If nothing happens, both of these projects are on hold," Seminole Gaming CEO Jim Allen told The Tampa Bay Times.
The tribe has shared more than $1 billion with the state over the last five years. A key provision expires this summer but state lawmakers do not appear to be interested in a new deal and are instead pursuing an expansion of non-Indian operations.
