The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood, already known for nightly light shows across its guitar facade, is set to debut a holiday experience with more than two million LED lights and 20 themed areas! Known as “Hard Rock the Holidays” the 35-day spectacular is set to feature glowing displays and memorable photo opportunities across 24 acres of the hotel’s pool area.
Inside the 24-acre winter wonderland
Beginning November 29, guests can explore enchanting scenes like a tunnel of twinkling garland arches known as the North Pole Passage and the Gates of the Glowing Grove, where they’ll be greeted by 13-foot illuminated deer.
Be sure to explore Santa’s Celestial Ride, featuring over 100 glowing RGB orbs, and the Cathedral of Light, a 40-foot structure with immersive animations. At the center of it all, of course, is a 50-foot Tree of Wonder.
The celebration extends across the lagoon with six themed islands, such as Santa Rocks! and Reindeer Bay. There’s also the sugary, sweet-themed spectacle of Candy Cane Cove, the icy display of Polar Bear Island and the nostalgic Island of Misfit Toys.
“Hard Rock the Holidays transforms the Guitar Hotel into a dazzling winter wonderland that brings people of all ages together in the spirit of joy and celebration,” said Jim Allen, Chairman of Hard Rock International and CEO of Seminole Gaming, in a statement. “This event is about more than lights and music; it’s about creating meaningful moments for our guests, families and especially children, whose wonder and excitement remind us what the holiday season is truly about.”
Even the youngest of attendees can participate in a special scavenger hunt across the resort, solving festive clues and recording their discoveries, to become Junior Holiday Rockstars.
Furthermore, the experience will feature a whole flurry of food and drink stations serving seasonal bites, sweets and sips, such as Santa’s Snack Emporium, Ms. Claus’s Kitchen and the Hot Chocolate Station.
The Guitar Hotel will be overflowing with holiday fun through January 3, and, yes, that includes a signature light and music show that’ll be synchronized to classic jams. For more info on the new festive tradition at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel in Hollywood, visit the event website here.
