“ However, as we look to the future for the property, we know it is important to elevate our overall gaming and hospitality experience to meet the needs of our discerning guests who are looking for modern accommodations and exceptional service,” added Grant.Ĭhoctaw Casino & Resort in Durant was built in 2006, and the resort’s first hotel tower was built in 2010. It will always be an important part of our history and symbolize our beginnings and the start of our success in this casino and resort business,” said Heidi Grant, Executive Officer of Gaming & Hospitality for the Choctaw Nation Division of Commerce. The tribe built the Inn in the early 2000s, and the property has provided more amenities and updated hotel offerings for its guests as regional and national interest in the property grew over the years. The business said it is “removing a piece of history” from its casino property by tearing down the Choctaw Inn, a 100-room hotel. Choctaw Casinos and Resorts -the gaming and hospitality chain of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma- is demolishing the original hotel of its Choctaw Casino & Resort in Durant property, in order to make way for future development.
