Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood

The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, developed on behalf of Florida’s Seminole Tribe, set a new benchmark for regional gaming resorts when it was commissioned back in 2004.

Initially, the building featured the southeast’s largest casino, an upscale hotel of 500 rooms, a pool oasis and beach club covering 4 acres, 6000 seating capacity, and 450,000 square feet of the leading restaurants, retail, and entertainment tenants in the United States.

Out of the gate, the project was a runaway success and has been expanding ever since. Five miles from downtown Fort Lauderdale, Hard Rock consistently ranks as one of the most profitable and successful world gaming destinations.

Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood is the premier entertainment venue in South Florida. With over $125 million in investments, the indoor facility features clamshell-style seating, a provision always bound to give guests one of the most intimate concert-going experiences.

In 2023, the place won an Academy of Country Music Award in the Casino of the Year -- Theatre Category. In 2022, it ranked number 5 worldwide for Pollster Magazine and Billboard.

The brainchild of Scéno Plus, Hard Rock’s 225,000-square-foot venue comes equipped with modern in-house sound, lighting, extra-sized HD viewing screens, and mobile-stage technology.

By way of these state-of-the-art integrations, Hard Rock Live is capable of hosting some of the biggest performers in the entertainment sector, as it would for national or international telecast award shows and sporting events, among others.

A-list acts such as The Rolling Stones, Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Billy Joel, Maroon 5, and Dave Chappelle have graced the place.

Transportation and parking

Hard Rock Live is accessible via several bus transit systems, some of which are run by Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood establishment. Some of these lines have routes passing through Hollywood. There is a train line alternative that costs between $2-$5.

Driving there yourself? Attached to the venue is the Hard Rock Cafe parking garage, the closest vehicle space you can find. It is a seven-story facility that offers direct indoor access to the venue’s escalators. Depending on the event, parking rates range from $5 to $20.

Typically, this garage comes with ample space for sold-out events, and since it is on-site, visitors can conveniently arrive fast before showtime and quickly depart at the end of the function.

What’s more, the adjacent Hard Rock Hotel offers valet parking services, with rates comparable to the garage parking. Though this is not close to the garage, the service helios minimize the walking distance to and from the show.

The hotel also has a climate-controlled walkway that leads directly to Hard Rock Live, just in case you are wearing heavy attire and want to get to the venue hassle-free.
