Hard Rock Hollywood has 5-year party Monday
The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino opened its doors on May 11, 2004 — and South Florida gambling changed.
The casino celebrates its five-year anniversary Monday with an 11 a.m. cake cutting, $5 drink specials at the outdoor beach club, and $5 mojitos at the casino’s center bar.
Also Monday:
Slot players can earn five times their regular number of Player’s Club points for playing the machines, and the casino has a $1 million promotion at five kiosks.
New Player’s Club sign-ups will get $25 in free play. They normally get $20. (Note: This is corrected; I originally had it as $30, up from $25. My fault.)
The casino will unveil what it calls a “birthday gift” of five guitars, signed by Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Pete Townshend, Bruce Springsteen and Angus Young.
Meanwhile, the Seminole Tribe’s $5 million cash display, which started at the Hard Rock on March 18 and rotated to the other Seminole properties, returns. It’ll be on display through May 16.

The thought of a $5 drink special makes me laugh and wonder what are the regular prices.

Well, I originally wrote it as $5 Hurricanes and $5 Pilsners, but then I figured I had to go into a lot of explaining.
So it's those drinks that are $5, and, yup, I bet they're usually more than $5. Heck, a rum and coke at Lefty's in Davie cost us $5.25 on Tuesday.
