Choctaw Landing, the Choctaw Nation’s new luxury resort and casino in Hochatown, Oklahoma, is now open and accepting bookings. The property opened its doors Wednesday, April 3, leading into its official grand opening on May 23, 2024.
While the property has begun accepting guests, some resort services, including conference services, pool opening, concerts, and cultural entertainment, will begin availability at a later date this spring.
The opening of the $238 million Choctaw Landing resort created more than 400 jobs in Southeast Oklahoma and will have an estimated $95 million economic impact on the region, according to casino officials.

“There has been so much excitement around Choctaw Landing, and we are thrilled to be open to guests who are planning to stay at the resort and to those who are just interested in visiting our casino and mercantile,” said Amy Davis, Choctaw Landing General Manager. “Choctaw Landing is located about an hour north of the Oklahoma/Texas border and we are the perfect place to get away and unwind.”
The resort includes 100 guest rooms with 15 suites; three conference rooms and more than 4,300 square feet of meeting space; one hotel restaurant and three outdoor dining/bar options; a resort fitness center; pool area with nine cabanas, two hot tubs and three fire pits; and an outdoor amphitheater with seating for 125.
As for its gaming offerings, the property features a casino with 600 slot machines and eight table games including roulette, blackjack, and poker. Other features of the resort include convenience store The Mercantile with groceries, a deli, a Starbucks and a 24-pump fuel station.
Incorporating the Choctaw culture throughout, Choctaw Landing has worked with more than 20 Choctaw artists from around the country to create original artwork for the resort. There are 40 pieces of artwork in public spaces, two large exterior sculptures, and 600 pieces of artwork throughout the guest rooms.
Choctaw Artist Gene Smith has designed an interactive circular steel sculpture for the entrance of Choctaw Landing that will showcase Choctaw social dancers. The sculpture will feature an opening for guests to “join the dance,” interact with the dancers, and delve into the rich history woven into each character around the circle, as reported by local media.
