Hard Rock Casino Opens in Tulsa

by Bodog Casino | Aug 3 2009

We don't care what senators, mayors or governors tell the public about gaming in their state. Everyone wants to have a little bit of Vegas in their town.

No matter when you head to the city in the middle of a desert, there's always lots of fun and lots of money to be had (and spent unfortunately).

That's why it shouldn't be too much of a surprise that the creators of the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino have expanded to other states across the U.S. You can hang at the Hard Rock in Biloxi, Mississippi. The Hard Rock in Tampa, Florida. The Hard Rock in Hollywood, Florida (that's right, there's a "Hollywood" in Florida). And now you can get your game on in the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

If you're bored of attending high school and college football games in the state, this new facility has plenty of things going to keep you busy. It features 350 rooms and suites and approximately 125,000 square feet of gaming action.

Enjoy penthouse restaurants, five night clubs and in 2010 a Hard Rock Hotel and Casino event center will be unveiled. They expect it to hold approximately 2,500 guests.

If you think because the new casino isn't stationed in Vegas that you won't have that Sin City flash you've got another thing coming.

The casino will have a Center Bar which features an amazing 80-ft frozen bar top, and a lounge to make sure you can drink and gamble the night away.

"Entertainment in Tulsa is now synonymous with Hard Rock Hotel & Casino," stated David Stewart , CEO of Cherokee Nation Entertainment. "With the Cherokee Nation's commitment of $155 million in developing the new resort and the branding opportunity with Hard Rock, we have made a long-term investment for our community and state. This venture brings together a unique blend of Cherokee culture, Oklahoma's rich musical history and classic rock and roll. We've created an experience that cannot be duplicated anywhere else."

In these tough economic times it's not easy to buy a plane ticket, grab the family and pay for a weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada just to get your game on. That's why if you live in Oklahoma there's no better way to get that live Vegas experience without having to leave your state.

The resort and casino even has an 18-hole golf course! So circle a day on your calendar and try out the new Hard Rock.

And if you have a couple of days (or weeks) before you can make the trip, be sure to test out your skills in the Bodog Casino!
