Cherokee Nation and Cherokee Nation Entertainment officials will join Flintco representatives Monday in a celebration to commemorate a major milestone in the construction of a third hotel tower at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa.

Beginning at 10 a.m., casino officials, employees and dignitaries will sign the final beam before it is placed atop the new 10 story tower.

“Not only will this milestone help our facility remain competitive, but will also create jobs for our people,” said Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Bill John Baker.

The expanded Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa includes a third hotel tower that adds 100 suites and more than 55,000 square feet of entertainment and gaming space. Already the largest gaming and entertainment destination in the region, the new tower will make Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa the largest hotel in the northeast Oklahoma with 456 rooms.

Once complete, entertainment options will include a new media bar and ultra lounge and an innovative gaming zone with new interactive multiplayer games.
