Miccosukee Casino & Resort is a nine-story resort and casino located in the western outskirts of Miami, Florida, on the edge of the Everglades. [1] It has a colored statue of a young Miccosukee boy outside the front entrance. [2] [3] It has been quoted to be "one of the most unusual resort destinations in Florida" due to the contrast between the Native American village surroundings and the casino. [4] Established in 1999 at a reported cost of $45 million, it is operated by about 400 members of the Miccosukee Tribe. [5] [6] [7] In 2009, it was estimated that the Miccosukee Resort generated revenue of around $75 million a year. [8]
