The new venue features a 20,500 square-foot casino with 500 gaming machines.
US.- The Muscogee Nation Gaming Enterprises (MNGE) has held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Lake Eufaula Casino Hotel, which replaces Creek Nation Casino in Oklahoma. The new property has a 46-room hotel, a fitness centre and a 20,500 square-foot casino with 500 gaming machines.
There’s a restaurant called North Fork Bar & Grill, and the hotel lobby features a large-scale wooden art installation by Mvskoke artist Bobby Martin. Construction of the venue began in June 2024.
All 60 full-time employees from the previous property have transitioned to the new venue, and there are 100 new full-time positions.
Muscogee Nation principal chief David Hill said: “Today marks an important milestone for our Nation as we open a destination that reflects both our heritage and our vision for the future. The Lake Eufaula Casino Hotel strengthens our economic foundation, expands tourism and supports continued growth of this vibrant region, and as guests tour the property for the first time, this opening reflects our long-term commitment to expanding world-class entertainment options across our Nation’s reservation.”
MCN second Chief Del Beaver added: “Our people have always been known for their hospitality, and this property gives us another opportunity to share that spirit with guests from near and far. The Lake Eufaula Casino Hotel reflects both innovation and tradition—creating a space that celebrates who we are while supporting a strong future for this community and seeing the first guests interact with the space brings to life our commitment to cultural representation and design excellence.”
MNGE chief executive officer Pat Crofts commented: “This addition reflects our ongoing commitment to making Lake Eufaula a complete destination for entertainment, dining and recreation. As the area continues to thrive, we are creating new opportunities for residents to enjoy world-class amenities close to home, while welcoming visitors who come to experience the beauty and excitement of Lake Eufaula. This venue is designed to bring people together—locals and travelers alike—to enjoy the best of what this remarkable community has to offer.”
