Are you looking for a Las Vegas style getaway? How about Choctaw Casino in Durant, Oklahoma? Located off US Highway 75 just beyond the Texas state border, Choctaw Casino Resort is hard to miss. In fact, it’s the only tall building in the area!

1. The new Choctaw Casino Resort in Durant, Oklahoma, includes 776 hotel rooms, a natatorium, fitness center, business center, full-service spa, and four retail outlets.
2. Choctaw Casino Resort, in Durant Oklahoma, is an operation of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, located at the intersection of U.S. Highways 69 and 75, about 15 miles north of the Texas, Oklahoma border, on the west side of Durant. Choctaw Casino is open daily, all day long, that's all 24 hours of the day. Choctaw Casino has 42 Table Games, 1,617.
3. Choctaw Casino & Resort–Durant is the only AAA Four- Diamond-rated hotel in Southeastern Oklahoma. It features modern hospitality reflected through the unique culture, history, and beauty of the Choctaw Nation. Luxurious and family-friendly rooms are available at the Spa Tower, Grand Tower, Choctaw Inn, Choctaw Lodge, and Choctaw RV Park.

Choctaw Casino. The sights, smells and sounds of the casino can be overwhelming. Enter the main foyer and a white buffalo statue grabs your attention. The bison is the center attraction in the casino’s 22-foot high water wall and fountain.

And then there is the smell. Smoking is allowed on the casino floor. A powerful ventilation system helps, but if cigarette smoke really bothers you, Choctaw Casino is not your place.

And what about those ringing bells? The casino floor itself is a maze of slot machines all ringing and whirling with light and sound. Talk about sensory overload! According to Choctaw’s website, the casino boasts having 3,500 slot machines and over 200,000 square feet of gaming space. That is almost twice the gaming space of the Bellagio in Las Vegas!

Neophytes. As a novice, I found Choctaw Casino challenging. One cent slots really aren’t a penny a play, and what’s up with progressive slots with a bingo line? You do have a choice of slots or table games like black jack, baccarat, poker, and Pai Gow. With a minimum bet at the black jack tables of $10, table prices discourage the timid.

While there may be no winning strategy for slot machines, they are certainly easier for the beginner. With options like 25 cent Poker slots, you can easily gamble for a couple of hours and only loss a few dollars.

Tip: If you aren’t a professional gambler, visit Choctaw Casino with a set limit on how much you are willing to lose. And to stick to that limit!

Players Club. Like most casinos, Choctaw Casino offers the opportunity to join their players club. Consider the casino players club even if you only intend to visit once. Why? At the time I joined, I received ten dollars free play, and discounts on the buffet and my hotel room. But, if you value your privacy and don’t want to end up on another email list, take a pass.

More than a Casino. Bring your swimsuit and enjoy the outdoor water park. Or if you just want to relax after a long night at the tables, the resort has a full service spa. The Choctaw Event Center serves as venue for the once-great bands on the casino circuit. Tickets to see headliner bands from the 1980s and 1990s are priced from $40 to $90.

Choctaw Casino Resort is located at 3735 Choctaw Road in Durant, Okla. Contact the resort at 580-931-8340 or visit their online site at choctawcasinos.com .

History[edit]

The Choctaw Casino Resort sits on a 50-acre site, adjacent to the former Choctaw Casino Bingo. The Choctaw Casino Bingo was built in 1987 and was the first of the Choctaw gaming franchise. In 2006, the original $60 million resort (now known as the South Casino) was completed with the construction. Soon after completion, tribal officials determined they built too small for their clientele and went underway with an expansion. In February 2010, a larger casino was built adjacent to the existing resort and became known as the North Casino. The Grand Hotel Tower is built atop the North Casino. The Bingo Hall then closed, shortly after the opening of the expansion.
