Choctaw Casino Expansion Redesigned
Durant, Okla. - The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma has redesigned plans for the expansion of its resort in Durant that includes a second hotel tower and entertainment complex.
The new 14-story hotel, redesigned from the original 22 levels, will include several VIP suites in its 286 rooms and complement the first 12-story tower opened in 2010. The current plans will align with all requirements and the tribe’s desire to provide an area in its resort with activities for all ages. 
Construction teams are now concentrating on the entertainment complex, a phase in the redesign that allows the tribe to focus on the values of family-oriented entertainment. Added amenities include a 4-screen movie theater, 20-lane bowling center, laser tag and arcade, a new 150-seat Oasis Bar and Grille, an event center with theater seating for 3,000, over 10,000-sq.-ft. spa, and 20,000 square feet of convention center space.
The expansion will open next summer.
