Seminole Casino in Tampa

The Hard Rock Seminole Casino had a Christmas buffet, with a long line of waiting. But it was a special occasion, and nobody had to clean up their kitchen!
 Cute stanchions for the ropes keeping waiting in line somewhat organized.

 This was the 4th day of Hanukkah, though all my family who are Jewish didn't get to do much celebrating this year...mostly due to traveling.
Son, Marty Heym

 Ex-husband, Doug Heym and his wife, Millie.

Might as well take some photos while waiting over an hour to get to the next line, which also took quite a while.
 Reducing myself to a bauble selfie! See header (for a while anyway)

 And Marty was also taking photos and texting while we waited.


 My real selfie.

 Our table was pretty close to the entrance, and a long way from the various food stations. To the right in background was the Mongolian Grill. To the left is the seafood station.

The buffet gives each person many choices of food...my first plate-full...I enjoyed the halibut and creamed spinach, the au gratin potatoes, and the fruits and veggies. The fried chicken was too dry. I did have a second plate-full, and that's my apple pie with a pecan tart waiting for me for dessert. There was unending champaign and mimosas for adults, but I chose ginger ale.

 Looking down the stairwell, there are hundreds of slot machines on the floor below.


But since this is an American Indian Casino, they also sell untaxed tobacco products, and the slot machine areas reeked of smoke...so I quickly headed to a door to get outside and breathe.

It was a Christmas feast to remember!
