Harrah’s Oklahoma opens
It’s Caesars’ first casino in the state.
US.- Harrah’s Oklahoma has opened as the first Caesars casino in the state. Developed with the Iowa Tribe of Oklahoma, it’s located on Route 66 and features 12 table games, more than 1,000 slot machines, a high-limit gaming area and bars and restaurants, such as Arrow & Ember and Dash Café.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony was attended by Oklahoma football greats Barry Switzer and Bob Stoops. Caesars said the venue is expected to generate more than 300 jobs across gaming, hospitality, food and beverage, facilities, security and administrative operations.
“Beyond job creation, Harrah’s Oklahoma is positioned as a tourism anchor along the Route 66 corridor, attracting visitors from across Oklahoma and neighbouring states. The property highlights the value of tribal and corporate partnerships in fostering regional economic development, workforce growth and community investment,” it stated.
Joe Scibetta, SVP and general manager of Harrah’s Oklahoma, commented: “This is a milestone moment for our team, our partners and the Chandler community. We’re proud to officially open our doors and introduce a destination that delivers the Harrah’s experience while creating something new and exciting for Oklahoma.”
In March, the Muscogee Nation and the Muscogee Nation Gaming Enterprises held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the opening of the Coweta Casino Hotel. The venue is located on 17 acres at the southeast corner of East 131st Street South and State Highway 51 in Coweta.
