Miccosukee Resort & Convention Center, Miami

I had the misfortune to make a brief stop at this casino and was stunned by the dishonesty of this operation. I am not naive and understand that casinos are intended to make money for the owners. I was intending to spend a few hours there, leave a few bucks for the entertainement value and move on. However I was amazed by what happened while playing one of their poker slot machines. I noticed that it was deleting my winnings. I called over the floor manager and had them play back the history on the machine. It clearly showed that the machine was cancelling out the amount I had won. They AGREED that was happening and placed the machine "Out of Service", however, they refused to pay what I had won! I couldn't believe it. I have been in many other Casino's and always found them completely honest in their gaming policy. But in this case they agreed I had won (it was only 4 or 5 dollars) as was clearly shown in the history the machine held but they REFUSED to pay up. With no explanation. THIS IS NOT AN HONEST GAMING PLACE PERIOD. DO NOT go here if you want a fair game. I suspect the error in the machine was not an accident and this was coroborated by their refusal to pay the winnings. This happened on 1/26/09 at around 11:00 in the morning.

i did like the pool but the smell of bleach was to strong for me .... but it is a nice please i like it!!!!!

The worst Casino I have ever been in. I can't think of anything positive about this place. Over the three nights I played their slots I was never offered a drink. The food at the buffet was at best ho hum. The smoke in the casino was horrible. When first checking this place out on line I was given the impression they had a golf course near by. NOT!

The staff was very friendly & accommodating. The rooms were clean & ready upon arrival(early) for our group of 30. The hotel really has a nice system delivering & picking up the luggage. Also it was nice to have everyone located on the same floor. The buffet was good also. The location is good for travel to Key West & other Miami tours. Most of us were not use to the type of slot machines offered, so we did not spend much time in the casino.

not very happy smoking is a problem i mean big problem when playing poker or machines. service wasnt great compare to similar resorts ,buffet was pretty good ,but thats about it .will visit but not over nigth.

firstly cigarette smoke,reception should issue gas masks as an aid to survival.potential customers should be made aware of this problem.also insect infestation in room,bedside cabinet top became alive ,partly empty packet of chips was taken over by colony of ants!booked two nights stayed one,and relieved to do so avoid!

Arrived 6pm only 1 desk clerk on. Stated other clerk called out, and no replacement called in. Buffet for breakfast and supper, standard fare, but okay for money spent. Free coffee and soda all day downstairs near the casino. Shark Tram trail, awesome way to see the Everglades, and this hotel is closest to that.

I wish everyone there spoke english. This is a large Latino community and all white people must go north (i guess) The motel fare is more than neutral. There is a nice view of the drunks in the parking lot.

The rooms are a dump. The casino area is filled with smoke. The mschines look like they were installed in the 1930's. The food is horrible.

I live very near this casino and decided to stay one weekend. First and foremost, it cannot be compared to Las Vegas nor the new Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, FL. This casino/hotel is small and not even close in caliber. Architecturally the hotel is modern with a rather funky colorful Art Deco inspired decor. There is small indoor pool and gym. Rooms are nice decorately. The biggest problem and one that is immediately obvious is the very strong smell of cigarette smoke...It is everywhere. It even manages to seep up to the rooms and restaurants. The non-smoking room I had still had the ordor of stale smoke on the fabrics. There is literally a blue cloud of cigarette smoke above the casino floor. It appears that every other person is a chain smoker. Within 15 minutes your eyes begin to water upon entering the casino and you feel like you smoked a cigarette yourself...it is that bad. The ventilation system obviously does not work well. I am puzzled no one has sued them yet for second hand smoke damage. I cannot recommend this hotel
