Harrah’s Oklahoma Opens Near Route 66

The property commenced operations on Thursday with a ribbon-cutting ceremony featuring tribal leaders and Caesars executives. The opening day festivities encompassed live entertainment, appearances by local celebrities, inaugural gaming sessions on the casino floor, and a fireworks display.

Adding a local sports flair to the debut, Barry Switzer and Bob Stoops participated in ceremonial first-play activities as the venue welcomed its first visitors.

The 173,000-square-foot complex houses more than 1,000 slot machines, 12 table games, and a separate high-limit gaming space. Dining options consist of Arrow & Ember, offering modern American cuisine like steak, lobster bisque, and gourmet burgers, alongside Dash Café for faster fare such as smashburgers, pizza, and breakfast burritos.

Located approximately 50 miles northeast of Oklahoma City near Chandler, Caesars and tribal leaders are marketing the property to travelers on Route 66, particularly with the highway’s centennial celebration approaching in 2026. This is expected to boost tourism in the vicinity, drawing visitors en route to attractions like the Seaba Station Motorcycle Museum in Warwick.

Patrons can utilize the Caesars Rewards program at the location, accumulating and using credits not just at Harrah’s Oklahoma but also at other Caesars destinations, including Las Vegas, Atlantic City, Lake Tahoe, and New Orleans.

“This is a milestone moment for our team, our partners, and the Chandler community,” stated Joe Scibetta, SVP and General Manager of Harrah’s Oklahoma. “We’re proud to officially open our doors and introduce a destination that delivers the Harrah’s experience while creating something new and exciting for Oklahoma.”

For the Iowa Tribe of Oklahoma, the initiative is viewed as a long-term economic development endeavor as much as a gaming venture. “Harrah’s Oklahoma brings new energy to our community and creates meaningful opportunities for future generations,” remarked Jake Keyes, Chairman of the Iowa Tribe of Oklahoma.

According to officials, the development is projected to yield more than 300 employment opportunities in areas such as gaming, hospitality, food service, security, and administration. Both Caesars and tribal leadership also envision the property as a regional attraction pulling in guests from throughout Oklahoma and neighboring states.
