The River Spirit Casino is set to open in February 2009 as one of the largest gaming facilities in the state.
The $160 million casino will include 300,000 square feet of gaming space, several dining venues and a 1,300-space parking garage.
The completion of the casino is the first phase of the project, which will include a second phase: the construction of a hotel and conference center. A planned third phase will feature theaters and other family-friendly entertainment options. The second phase of the project is expected to begin in spring 2009.
