Fodor's Expert Review Miccosukee Casino & Resort

Like an oasis on the horizon of endless sawgrass, this nine-story resort on the edge of the Everglades can't help attracting attention—even if you're not a fan of 24-hour gaming action. The casino is positioned within the lobby (making for a cigarette-smoky welcome at the front desk) and features more than 1,700 gaming machines, 32 high-stakes poker tables, a 1,050-seat bingo hall, and a separate gaming area that's comparatively smoke free. If you get beyond the lobby, you'll find that most rooms and suites have a view of the area's sawgrass and wildlife. Amenities include an indoor heated pool, fitness center, a minibar, coffeemaker, and 24-hour room service. Children 12 and under are invited to hang out at Club Egret, where 8,500 square feet of activities await.
