Choctaw Casino to Celebrate 35th Anniversary With Concerts + Cash
In honor of 35 years of exceeding guests’ expectations in the gaming and resort industry, Choctaw Casino & Resort – Durant is thrilled to commemorate the landmark anniversary of the first casino in Southeastern Oklahoma with a month-long celebration.
The festivities kick off on August 5. The celebration includes concerts, $2 million in cash giveaways, a special anniversary hotel rate, plus food, drink, and spa specials, guest appearances at The League sports bar, and activities at The District entertainment venue like bowling and bingo, a nod to Choctaw Casino’s humble beginnings.
According to a press release, the property has undergone five major expansion projects, including the addition of a 12-story hotel tower in 2010, major upgrades to the Choctaw Lodge and Choctaw Inn in 2012, and the opening of Grand Tower, Grand Theater, and The District family entertainment center in 2012. The Sky Tower opened in 2021 featuring a 21-story luxury tower that included expanded gaming, elevated amenities, restaurants, lounges, entertainment options, and a world-class collection of Choctaw art.
