Thanks Sean.  I'll update the web site tonight.  Will be watching your blog too
and might be close enough to meet up in FL.  Heading that way.

Subject: [casinocamper] Seminole FL casino confusion

Mac,

We're in Fort Lauderdale tonight (staying at Isle Pompano), and thus had
occasion to call and speak with security at *both* Seminole casinos in the area,
the Seminole Hard Rock, and the Seminole Hollywood.

First, as we posted to your site and in our blog back in February of 2006, per
security, the Seminole Hollywood does *not* permit  overnight parking; back in
2006, they would not even allow us to park for the day.  When I called security
tonight, they confirmed there is no RV parking on property.  This would
contradict the RV status listed on the site as "supposed to be OK" as well as
the "Yes(U1)" in the Florida page table, For whatever reason, our comment back
in 2006 ended up in the Hard Rock listing, but it was definitely the Hollywood
casino we we talking about:

I can not speak to the RV park across the street, but no one at the casino
mentioned it on the phone; I suspect they are unrelated businesses.

After security at the Hollywood told me we could not park there, they offered to
transfer me to the Hard Rock.  Security at the Hard Rock informed me they had
oversized vehicle parking available, but *no* overnight stays are allowed.  They
claimed that they check for this in the morning.  Here again, this would
contradict reports from Susan, Emily, and maybe others.

So, to clarify: overnight RV parking is prohibited at BOTH Seminole casino
properties in Fort Lauderdale.  Per security as of November, 2009.

Just trying to set the record straight, and maybe save someone from a mid-night
knock.
