From David: I went to the meeting in Hollywood, FL and saw the two presentations, Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort and the Planet Hollywood resort. About 200 people were there and probably 90% were for the Margaritaville plan. The Planet Hollywood attorney was arrogant and turned off the people.
If the Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort is approved with the vote on April 7th the opening would be ready by Dec 31, 2012.
The best points
1) The Margaritaville Resort plan give more money back to the city
2) The Margaritaville plan will only have two restaurants (to keep the local businesses still going).
3) It’s the FIRST hotel for the group (run by a strong hotel group) so people will flock to it just to see the first place.
The Margaritaville Plan calls for
350 guest rooms (42 suites)
A Margaritaville Cafe (400 seats)
It’s Five o’clock Somewhere Bar (150 seats)
Twelve Volt Bar
Retail, Spa, and Conference area (1500 people)
Poolside and cabana services
