Smith had visited the hotel at least twice previously--for a boxing match last month and her birthday in 2005, a hotel spokeswoman said.
The complex opened in 2004 on the Hollywood reservation of the Seminole Tribe of Florida, just south of Fort Lauderdale. The complex includes a 130,000 square foot casino, about 10 restaurants, another 10 nightclubs and 25 retail shops and is packed most nights, becoming one of South Florida's most popular attractions. The tribe was scheduled to begin its four-day, 36th Annual Seminole Tribal Fair, Pow Wow & Rodeo there Thursday.

Anna Nicole was found in her hotel room and given CPR by Seminole tribal fire rescue and Hollywood fire rescue workers, said Michael Bloom, president of the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida.
Anna Nicole's nurse called hotel workers at the hotel at 1:38 p.m. and security went to the hotel room, hotel officials said. Fire rescue workers from both the Seminole Indian tribe and from Hollywood arrived minutes later and Smith was taken to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood at 2:10 p.m.
Anna Nicole died at 2:45 p.m. at the age of 39. She is survived by her 4-month-old daughter, Dannielynn Hope.
