New Choctaw Landing casino set to open in Hochatown this spring

 “Choctaw Landing is an all-in-one exclusive resort destination, and the perfect place to unwind,” said Amy Davis, Choctaw Landing general manager. “We are located just an hour north of the Oklahoma/Texas border and excited to open this new entertainment destination for Oklahomans and our friends and neighbors in Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana.”

The entrance of the casino will feature an interactive sculpture showcasing Choctaw social dancers. Designed by Choctaw artist, Gene Smith, the sculpture will allow guests to “join the dance,” interact with the dancers, and explore the history of each character. Work from other Choctaw artists will also be featured throughout the resort.

The project is expected to cost $238 million, and will create more than 400 jobs in the area. Officials anticipate the resort will have a $95 million economic impact on the region. Click here to explore job opportunities at the new resort.

The Choctaw Nation is also investing $7 million for road construction at the Choctaw Landing intersection to allow for turn lanes and traffic signals. They’ll be working with the Oklahoma Department of Transportation to make storm water improvements, relocate utilities, and widen Highway 259 to create a three-lane road at the resort’s entrance and north to Highway 259A.

Hochatown recently incorporated as a town at the end of 2022.
