Jennifer Cross, director of marketing for the Creek Nation Casino, said ''It's a
go. No matter what, we're opening. We're very, very excited because it's been in
the works for multiple years."
Tribe officials planned to open it this month but bad weather and construction
delays have pushed it into March.
The $195 million casino is near 81st Street and Riverside Drive. With 300,000
square feet it will be one of the largest casinos in Oklahoma.
Gaming will include 2,800 slot machines, 24 table games, a 15-table poker room,
and a High Stakes VIP lounge. The casino will also have four dining areas, a
live entertainment venue, and a 1,300-space parking garage. About 650 more
employees will be added to the current staff at the existing Creek Nation
Casino.
A second phase will begin construction later this year. Chief A.D. Ellis said "I
think within the next five or six years, this is going to surpass Oklahoma
City's Bricktown. We have about 140 acres, so it's probably unlimited what we
can do. We're really going to help the city of Tulsa grow."
Grand opening festivities for the River Spirit Casino have not been finalized.
