Vanilla Ice highlights Seminole Classic Labor Day weekend


Seminole Casino Hollywood, known to many locals as “The Classic”, has what it calls "chill out plans" on Labor Day weekend.

So guess who the entertainer might be?

Yup, a free concert by rapper Vanilla Ice of Ice, Ice Baby.

There's also a classic car show and Cosmic Bingo on Sunday and two $50,000 cash giveaways on Labor Day. Also a skating rink will be erected for free skating all weekend long.

The schedule:

Saturday

11 a.m. to 7 p.m.: Free ice skating rink

Noon to 7 p.m.: Outside Festival (includes free food vendors, Jahfe and High Ground band playing all day; World’s largest free Mojito tank; Free Miller beer, Bacardi girls; a special food presentation by Chef Max with free sampling)

8 p.m. to 9:15 p.m.: Free Vanilla Ice Concert (I am starting a rumor that GM Steve Bonner will make a guest appearance on stage, wearing rock-star duds. It's not true, but it would be cool if it were.)

Sunday

10 a.m. to 4 p.m.: Classic Car Show

10 a.m. to 4 p.m.: Entertainment all day

10 a.m. to 4 p.m.: World’s largest free mojito tank

The release says: "Laid back in comparison to its sister property, the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, just across the street, Seminole Casino Hollywood actually pioneered Indian gaming when it opened as the country’s first large stakes bingo hall in 1979, eventually expanding with gaming machines and poker." (Just a gentle, friendly reminder: Seminole casinos allow smoking, so dress accordingly.)

Seminole Casino Hollywood is located at 4150 North State Road 7, Hollywood, FL 33021. Call 954-961-3220 or 1-866-2-CASINO or www.seminolehollywoodcasino.com.

About the author
Maybe you've made the right play, maybe you haven't. Your heart speeds up, your stomach rumbles.

That's why it's called gambling.

ACTION is a view of the numbers, the psychology and the flavor of gambling here in South Florida, through our lens.

We do have one sure bet. There's something here for you.

NICK SORTAL began playing 3-card "gut" and "Indian poker" on high school band trips, moved on to "night baseball" and "pass the trash" during a Dr. Pepper-infused midnight game in the 1980s at the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, and now play in a regular neighborhood Hold 'Em game in Plantation. I have been given the assignment of writing about the gambling life in South Florida casinos for the Sun-Sentinel...which means sitting around watching poker on TV now counts as research.
