Miccosukee Resort & Gaming
Florida resort and casino
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Miccosukee Casino & Resort is a nine-story resort and casino located in the western outskirts of Miami, Florida, on the edge of the Everglades.[1] It has a colored statue of a young Miccosukee boy outside the front entrance.[2][3] It has been quoted to be "one of the most unusual resort destinations in Florida" due to the contrast between the Native American village surroundings and the casino.[4] Established in 1999 at a reported cost of $45 million, it is operated by about 400 members of the Miccosukee Tribe.[5][6][7] In 2009, it was estimated that the Miccosukee Resort generated revenue of around $75 million a year.[8]
