John Fontana, president of Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa, commented that the construction project was done in large part to give what its customers want. “A construction project of this magnitude was only made possible because of our incredible team members, business partners and our guests, who patiently waited for us to create what they’ve been asking for: more space, more dining options and ultimately more of what they wanted and needed,” he said.
