Miccosukee Casino & Resort is a nine-story hotel and casino on the edge of the Everglades, along Tamiami Trail. The gaming floor has more than 1,700 machines, 32 high-stakes poker tables and a 1,050-seat bingo hall, and a separate gaming area is smoke free. Most rooms overlook the sawgrass and wildlife, and the resort is a practical base for airboat rides and the nearby Miccosukee Indian Village.
The Miccosukee people and this land
The Miccosukee tribe has lived in South Florida for centuries, long before Columbus reached the continent. The resort sits on that land and is a convenient starting point for learning about the region's indigenous history.
For more depth, visit the Miccosukee Village nearby. It has a museum with exhibits of the tribe's earliest clothing, tools and beadwork, and its grounds include live alligator shows.
The casino and bingo hall
The gaming floor is large, with more than 1,700 machines and 32 high-stakes poker tables. The 1,050-seat bingo hall is a separate space for bingo players.
The gaming area set apart from the main floor is smoke free, which suits guests who want to avoid cigarette smoke. Some carpets and furniture in common areas look worn, so expect an older feel in places.
Rooms and what to expect
The resort is nine stories high and has more than 300 rooms with designer touches. Most rooms and suites look out over the sawgrass and wildlife of the park edge.
Beds are comfortable and bathrooms are spacious. The resort has no fitness center on site, so plan any workouts elsewhere.
Eating and drinking on site
The resort restaurant serves full meals. The taco spot opens in the evening, which suits a late dinner after a day on the water. The cocktail staff are friendly and attentive.
Breakfast is basic, and it is included in some room deals. Check the rate you book to see whether it applies to your stay.
Getting there and parking
Along Tamiami Trail you will find the Miccosukee Village and airboat rides, so the resort works well as a base for a day on the Everglades edge.
The parking lot has Tesla chargers for electric vehicles. The back of the lot is poorly lit at night, so stay near the front areas after dark.
