On Jan. 22, 2008, the Shawnee Tribe filed formal papers to put 104 acres of land in northeast Oklahoma City into federal trust for the development of a $400 million, high-quality destination entertainment resort.
Plans for the resort include: an 18-story, 400-room upscale hotel, a luxurious spa and salon, an outstanding array of the country’s best-known restaurants and shops, a casino, a 2,400-seat performance hall, a cinema, a bowling center and other high quality features.
This is an important project for Oklahoma City, and the Shawnee Tribe, that will have an immediate, positive impact in a wide range of areas. The destination resort will:
- Generate a multimillion-dollar economic boost for Oklahoma City
- Create thousands of local jobs with competitive salaries and benefits
- Provide a consistent source of new revenue for local and state governments
- Broaden the variety of local entertainment options
- Increase the appeal of Adventure District attractions for out-of-state residents
- Attract more young, creative professionals to Oklahoma City
- Support local schools, non-profit organizations and infrastructure needs in surrounding communities
- Enable the Shawnee Tribe to provide vital programs and services for its members
