Has storage but must be claimed by 5:30pm. I would be out 2-7pm. Any others that you know of?

Looks like I'm renting a car, leaving my shit in the trunk, and going to the Seminole Hard Rock to play some poker for a few hours. Take some easy stupid tourist money to exchange into pesos a few hours later.

How is security at FLL around 7pm mid-week, will there be a long line? I upgraded my seat on Jetblue so I have the "Even More Speed". Do they have those lines at FLL?

It's usually not bad. If you have TSA precheck even better

Si here's what I ended up doing:
My flight in was late so instead of 7 hour layover, it became 6. No biggie it worked out for the best.

I made a reservation through Hotwire for a rental car for $38 all in. It was through Hertz. What a clusterfuck that was. Huge line and they have 1 person working the desk. Went to a kiosk. They don't have my SUV. (Reminded me of the Seinfeld episode where Jerry goes to pick up his car but they don't have it. "You guys know how to take the reservation but don't know how to hold the reservation. But the holding part is the most important." So they gave me a Chevy Impala. No biggie whatever. But it took so long to look for my car that when I finally said give me the Impala it was like 4pm. My flight leaves at 9. I got out of there as quickly as possible. Had to go back to the reservation desk because they gave me the wrong paperwork (somebody named Margaret). They wouldn't let me leave the lot. LOL. Finally, I got it and high tailed it to Hard rock casino (about 10-15 minute drive). Sat down at the poker table $1/2 NL and bought in for $150 at exactly 4:50.

Folded first 2 hands. Schmegma. Then my 3rd hand (first hand playing) I get pocket 3's. Ok let's see what happens. I call the preflop raise ($10-12 don't remember). Flop comes 33K. Pow. I got quads. Nice. Now I gotta keeps these suckers in the hand so I check and they bet like $15 so I call. Turn same thing. River, I lead out with $25. One guy calls. I win decent pot about $180. But here's the bonus. They have a big hand promotion every hour on the hour. Aces full of tens or better puts you on the board. So I went on the board at 4:54. If nobody gets a bigger hand in the next 6 minutes i win another $200. I won another 200.

All in all, I played about 90 minutes and cashed out just short of 500 total. Not bad for 90 minutes of work. 350 profit. That's a little over a million Colombian pesos. 4 all nighters, 7 short sessions, or 20-25 MP sessions. Thank you FLL.

I got back to the airport with plenty of time since my flight to MDE was almost an hour late. By the way the hamburger place (Steak n Shake?) at the JetBlue terminal is phucking awesome. I have it each time I'm passing thru FLL.
