The Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma announced plans for a $52 million hotel expansion at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa.
The expansion will occur in an area of the casino that collapsed during a winter storm in February. The incident prompted the tribe to speed up its expansion plans. "We have a great opportunity to build in one of the most popular areas of the casino," David Stewart, the CEO of Cherokee Nation Entertainment, told The Tulsa World. The tower will add about 100 rooms to the facility, bringing the total number to 456. That makes the hotel just about the largest in the Tulsa area. Get the Story:
