4 days in fort Lauderdale area in March 2019.
I prefer caesars, mgm or golden nugget since I have high tier card level with them.

unfortunately, google says those 3 don't have casinos in that area. :(

and apparently, the Hard Rock in FL isn't the same as the Hard Rock in Atlantic City.

my preference is $1/$2 no limit poker.
Recommendations?

You want Hard Rock Hollywood. Call first, ask for a host, and mention your highest tier card, ask if they might want to comp you a night or two. Give them some play, they will take stuff off at checkout.

Really nice resort hotel. Everything is very expensive there for hotels because it's high season in March. So you want to try for comps. It's also the home base for several poker pros.
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

I could be wrong, but I'm almost certain the AC property is not related to the Seminole casinos (all HR in FL). They might have some kind of courtesy arrangement, though. The HR in Biloxi is not related to them, and neither is HR LV.

The one in ac is related to the tampa Seminoles. They even comped me at ac hard rock before it opened based on play at tampa

You are correct that the biloxi one is not connected

I was thinking about tier matching and free rooms.

uggg.. I have very little play at HR AC .
im Rock Royalty only because of tier matching.
but yet I am offered $400/month free play even though I haven't played there since the summer.

be sure to drive to hardrock casino parking, not hardrock hotel parking.
casino valet parking is different than casino valet pickup, by several hundred feet and many expensive shops.
all valet charges and valet tipping is at pickup, not dropoff.

water in the hotel room is a charity ripoff

Speaking of valet parking...

It is a 3rd party company and the hotel does NOT comp it. It is quite expensive. You probably want to self-park.

fort liquordale is recommended
casino Miami has a few electronic games, jai alie, bingo.
magic city is larger, BETTER buffet,
EACH requires players club for discounts.
check your hotel room key for admission waiver.

If you have a car, it's still worth the drive up to Fort Lauderdale. It's quick & painless and the casinos are much much better than in Miami.

much larger, real casino, not racino. much better entertainment, food and MUCH better comps. live dealers, not just video dealers.
Short trip, some negatives as to parking, room water bottles, room rates, but far and above the two Miami 'postage stamp' sized places.
I did a review of the hard rock in Liquordale but was drunk on my first visit and woefully sick on a subsequent visit so I've not been there for a long time.

My biggest issue with the Hard Rock was that the parking (at least when I went, I guess that's 8 years ago) was nowhere near the casino. Like, park, go to first floor, walk OUTSIDE through a couple blocks of shops and restaurants, walk another block past a water feature, then finally enter the casino. That's fine when it works. But south Florida weather doesn't exactly always make a walk outdoors pleasant.

Magic City is a nice spot if you're not looking for live table games. They have quite a few different electronic tables from SHFL and Interblock in the back, and all the new slots from all different vendors.

According to a past, highly respected, WoV member living in that area bags are not allowed into the Casino Miami. Apparently you must leave your bag in the bushes outside which makes it subject to random theft and/or looting. This is especially a problem if anyone in your party has a bag containing really good candy or something.

Heck, I'd rather get soaked by a torrential downpour than use the indoor walkway and get soaked by the prices in those shops you pass by.

Most importantly, will you be meeting up with Nathan?

If so, don't be moving in on PokerGrinder's... chick(??). I'll have you know he's trying to get into shape just for her.
