Oklahoma state and local government officials, tribal leaders and supporters recently celebrated the opening of the million expansion at the Choctaw Casino & Resort in Grant. The project created more than 100 jobs. Chief Gary Batton said, “This is a proud day for the Choctaw Nation to celebrate progress in Choctaw Country. As Choctaws, we strive to better the lives not just of our people, but all of whom we interact with.”
The project included a new 96-room Wingtower hotel, including 23 suites. Choctaw Casinos & Resorts Senior Director of Gaming Operations Chris Scrivner noted, “Located just a short drive north of Paris, Texas, many of our returning guests do so because they enjoy the resort’s features and our gaming opportunities. To meet the growing public’s demand for affordable luxury, we’ve created a beautiful, state-of-the art property. The rooms are stylish but comfortable, and the suites have a great view of our new pool and pool bar. We also upgraded the lobby to create an arrival experience that is by far the best in the area for our guests. We’re already booking those rooms and suites for the holidays, and especially New Year’s Eve.”
A new, exclusive poker room offers five tables with a dedicated staff. Dining choices include the new Chili’s Grill & Bar, the first to open in an Oklahoma casino, and Cove Café. The Firehouse Grill and Buffet added 48 seats.
