The first phase of the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino opened Tuesday with a new casino, Big Joe's sports bar and Floyd's nightclub on Orient Road in Tampa, near the Florida State Fairgrounds. A 12-story Hard Rock Hotel is under construction at the site and will open next year. The $100-million project is being built by the Seminole Tribe, replacing its old gambling hall.
