TULSA, Okla.
The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa has officially kicked off with the groundbreaking of the resort's $52 million third hotel tower. When complete, the 10-story structure will add 100 suites to the existing 356 rooms and more than 55,000 square feet of entertainment and gaming space.
David Stewart, CEO of Cherokee Nation Entertainment, said the new tower will provide a food court with new casual dining options. The centerpiece of the gaming area, which is smoke-free, will be a two-story sports-themed "media bar," featuring numerous video panels.
The resort previously expanded its gaming space greatly and features the Joint, a 2,700-seat theater and concert venue, multiple bars, restaurants and nightclubs, a convention center and a golf course.
