After negotiations and consideration of a few strong candidates, the Iowa Tribe of Oklahoma finally decided to partner up with Caesars Entertainment to manage the new integrated resort which is planned to be built. With Caesars as its managing partner, the tribe is ready to begin with the next phase in planning this soon-to-be fantastic resort.
Long-expected IR:
The resort will be built in Oklahoma, between Tulsa and Oklahoma City, just off the I-44.
When Harrah’s branded resort opens, the visitors will be able to enjoy various casino and dining options. However, other amenities will be added in phases. The second phase will see the building of the hotel inside the resort, so the guests will have the opportunity to stay the night and prolong their stay in this magnificent resort.
Additional details aren’t released to the public yet, but it’s expected that they will be announced soon.
Perry Ahhaitty, the Chairman of the Iowa Tribe of Oklahoma, is satisfied with the partnership with Caesars, the largest gaming company in the whole of North America. Ahhaitty states that the company already partnered with various Native American tribes across the whole U.S., and it is well-known for helping the tribes in planning and developing fantastic integrated resorts that can provide the customers with various experiences to remember.
The partnership also means that the visitors of the resort will be able to enjoy the Caesars Rewards program, which will surely increase the popularity of the casino resort in Oklahoma, as well as in other states.
It will also help the tribe with ensuring the tribe has funds for investing in the health and safety of its members. The tribal members will get various kinds of jobs in the new IR, as well as in the communities that surround the casino.
Building a strong relationship:
Ahhaitty said: “We look forward to a long and prosperous relationship with Caesars and the local community with the brand-new Harrah’s right here in Oklahoma.”
Robert Livingston, the SVP of Development at Caesars Entertainment, said: “We are honored to be selected by the Iowa Tribe of Oklahoma to help them achieve their goals. We are looking forward to bringing Harrah’s to a new market. With properties throughout the midwest, Harrah’s is the perfect brand fit for Oklahoma.”
This won’t be the first casino the Iowa Tribe of Oklahoma operates. Cimarron Casino and Ioway Casino are under the ownership of the tribe, and there are slot machines in Iowa Travel Plaza and Mart as well.
