Buckets & Bets: Vegas-Style Viewing Experience Arrives in Florida

March is tournament season, and a great time to find a comfortable seat at the sportsbook, place some bets, and take in the action. With games running around the clock, upsets, buzzer beaters and Cinderella stories, it doesn’t get much better from a sports betting perspective… until now!

Audacy’s Buckets & Bets, presented by Hard Rock Bet, is transforming a ballroom at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood into the ultimate Vegas-style watch party. While Hard Rock Hollywood’s state of the art sportsbook is open every day, the Buckets & Bets experience has been intentionally curated as a college basketball paradise – making it the place to be for the opening weekend of tournament action.

The best tournament watch party

Buckets and Bets comes equipped with everything you need for a proper college basketball viewing party, including:

The sportsbook ✅

On-site sports betting powered by Hard Rock Bet will be available for convenient in-person wagering… but if you don’t want to leave your seat, you don’t have to. The Hard Rock Bet app is the only legal online sportsbook in Florida, and is available now throughout the state… from Pensacola down to the Keys. Whether you’re looking to parlay the top seeds, or take a bold stance with an underdog on the moneyline — Hard Rock Bet has it.

The food and drink ✅

General Admission tickets for Audacy’s Buckets and Bets come complete with food included, and, get this… an open bar.

Audacy, and the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood have equipped the Buckets & Bets ballroom with all of the TVs and displays you could want, so that attendees won’t miss a moment of the action. Every game will be shown live.
