As a regular customer at the Hard Rock Tampa here is my reviewPositives..Size of the Casino... It's a very large casino. Having been to Vegas it's right up there with the rest of em. Slot Machines...There are tons of slot machines (2,000 plus) of all denominations. There are some old ones as well as all the new video ones. I have never complained about lack of slots or slot over crowding there. I have also read reviews on here and other sites on how some people feel their slots are extra tight. I don't believe that to be true at all. I have been out to Vegas many times and see no difference there than at the Hard Rock.. All slots are on the ticket system and have ticket kiosks throughout the casino for people to avoid standing in line at the cashier. Smoking... I am a smoker so I am happy that smoking is still acceptable in casinos in Florida. Players Club... I get a bunch of free play coupons in the mail all the time and I love to use them. Usually I am sent at least $80 to $100 in free play per month and the dates they are valid are somewhat flexible. They also have a day every month where you choose a guaranteed prize from a table of cash or free play. Location.... It's easy to find and easy to get to in Tampa. The location near I-75 and I-4 is good for quick highway access. NegativesDrinks......Drinks are not free to those gambling but I do believe this is Florida law and not the casino's decision. The staff does offer free soda and coffee instead. Cost of Drinks.... I have never paid $24 for a couple long island ice teas anywhere else in my life. Add a tip to that and it's even worse. 12 oz bud light bottles are $4.50 and draft beer $5.50. You would think that they could give us a break on the booze - we're spending a lot in their casino. The center bar does run a beer special of $2.50 per bottle of usually a cheaper domestic brew ( High Life, etc). Parking... Its like the mall at Christmas time most weekend night trying to find a parking spot.
