Hmm, I thought Toby Keith's Bar and Grill was coming to the Casino.
Now that's about as Hard Rock as it get's(NOT!)

IMHO, the casino's in Tulsa messed up by planting themselves in three separate areas of the city.  Cherokee east, Osage North West, and Creek south.  If they had all built in the same basic area people might actually come to make a trip of it.

AGREED....I have wondered WHY they did this for years other than the land...look at Tunica...thats a place to go to gamble if you want to make a trip of it..NOT Tulsa.

I'm pretty sure that is because South is Creek Territory, NE is Cherokee Territory and NW is Osage territory.

Yes, I would guess that casinos have to be built in a tribe's own territory. Most of Tulsa proper is in Creek territory, I think.

But yes, it would be great if two or three of the big Indian casinos like Cherokee, Riverwind and Downstream, could all be together. It would be quite a tourist destination.

We could build it just a block east of the Tulsa County Election Board. Right about where the bridge is...at the corner of Edison and Elwood.

That is the intersection of the three tribal lands. Creek to the south, Osage to the west, and Cherokee to the east.

Call it the "Three Corners Tribal Casino" and have three separate casinos connected with a large parking garage.

It's a cool idea. However, the tribes are so competitive with each other, would they agree to be that close? Probably not.

Will it be HR-Tulsa, HR-Oklahoma, or HR-Cherokee Nation?
