The anticipation surrounding the launch of the Seminole Brighton Bay Hotel & Casino has reached new heights as they begin accepting reservations ahead of their grand opening scheduled for February 2025. This state-of-the-art resort is set to redefine luxury accommodations and entertainment in Florida's Okeechobee region.

Reservations for stay starting March 2025 can be made through the hotel's official website or by contacting their customer care team. Rates start at $159 for weekdays and $239 for weekends, making it an attractive option for visitors looking to indulge in a lavish getaway.

General Manager Marty Johns expressed excitement about this development, stating, “Opening up reservations is yet another exciting step towards our grand opening.
