The Seminole Tribe of Florida broke ground on Monday on a $315 million casino resort and hotel project

The tribe has partnered with Hard Rock to create a casino to replace an existing one. The facility will feature 250 hotel rooms, 1,500-seat entertainment complex and 29,000 square feet of convention space.

Under the terms of the deal, Hard Rock will get percent of gaming revenues or $3 million, whichever is greater, plus 3 percent of hotel room revenues. The tribe doesn't yet have authority to offer Class III games on reservation land.
