Seminole Casino Hotel in Immokalee, Florida

We won! We won! just a bit of gambling to say to ourselves that we did take a chance with a few quarters. And, it bought back a local luncheon for us in Immokalee!

American Press Travel News–March 11th,- Seminole Casino and Hotel, Immokalee, FL.-Bob and Barb “On the Road Again” – Barb and I like a great sing-along and between the Coasters and the Platters, we had one, actually hundreds of attenders did too!  

Multiple Showtime on a large screen, a bed anyone can be comfortable in, updated to ultra modern fixtures and am AC that didn’t wake the dead!
The Platters show had many dancing in the isles! Oldies but immensely nostalgic goodies on full display!
Ah,, the pool! It was warm enough for us to enjoy! Clean and clear with a head and shoulder waterfall!!!!
No time for use in an overnight for us! Too busy dancing to the Platters. But, this exercise room was all there just before a swim!

We were in the lands of the Seminole Tribe of Florida: They are the “Unconquered Warriors, having never given in, or up to the American Government. They never entered to signing a treaty-the only tribe in America who did not! This is the tribe that paved the way for Native American gaming in in the country more than 25-years ago. Today the Seminole Casinos, hotels and other enterprises employ 7,000 employees, and purchase more than $130.3 million in goods and services. Their new hotel in Immokalee, FL, where we stayed this past Saturday night was as modern and comfortable as any we have ever stayed in. The bed, bathroom and room amenities right down to the delightfully double bed lights, were first rate. We loved this hotel! We didn’t have a chance to dine, as the wait for restaurant on this Saturday night during prime winter time and the fact that the Coasters and the Platters were also on the menu, had this place “jumping.” For info: go: 1800-218-0007

The shower was the warm rain, the size was campable, the water handle was easy enough and safe enough for even a monkey to use without a hitch!

The casino is easily accessible from anywhere in Florida!!

Comments On 9/11 On 9/11

American PressTravel News-9/11- A day in Infamy!–I was in Polk County FL. on 9/11 in a motorhome we used to escape the hurricane season and the heavy summer humidity. River Ranch, FL has great pools and I bass fished all over the large property on the Kissimmee River. That morning I had a muffin with cream cheese, got my fly rod and was about to head out fishing. As I opened the door to leave I heard the sound that TV news puts out heralding a Special Report. I closed the door, sat down and thought I was viewing an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie ad for his new movie about terrorists that were going to blow-up buildings, and he was going to try and stop them.  But, as the commentator showed great agitation and excitement, I realized what I saw crashing into the Twin Towers was REAL!  I realized almost immediately that the world never be the same again. Unfortunately, I was correct!
