New Casino And Entertainment Destination in Roland, OK

The Cherokee Nation is building an $80 million casino and hotel in Roland, and officials gathered today to celebrate the topping out of construction on the new entertainment destination. The new Cherokee Casino & Hotel Roland is bringing 100 new jobs and more entertainment, dining and hotel options to the region.

“Today marks a significant step toward completion of our Roland expansion. The Cherokee Nation’s growth means more money for infrastructure, roads and schools in Sequoyah County. That is good for the Cherokee Nation citizens and good for our partners at the municipal, county and state levels,” said Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Bill John Baker. “The new hotel and casino are not only going to be bigger and better, but they will create more quality career opportunities in this region of the Cherokee Nation.”

The casino will offer 850 electronic games, table games and a poker room. Guests can choose from two dining options, a grab-and-go café and Las Vegas-style buffet. Along with the expanded gaming options, guests can enjoy a cocktail and live music at the entertainment venue.

The plans include a resort-style hotel, featuring 120 rooms, along with convention space to host conferences, special events, weddings and trade shows.

Cherokee Nation Entertainment is the wholly owned gaming, hospitality, retail and tourism entity of the Cherokee Nation. The company operates Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa; seven Cherokee Casinos, including a horse racing track; three hotels; three golf courses; and other retail operations. The region’s entertainment leader employs more than 3,500 people.

Cherokee Casino Roland is located off Highway 64 on Cherokee Boulevard in Roland. For more information on Cherokee Casinos, visit CherokeeCasino.com or call 1- 800- 256-2338. All guests must be at least 21 years of age.
