The Casino and huge shows draws people to cross the border regularly, and you’ll no doubt find more Texas license plates than anything else in the parking lot, but the resort offers amazing amenities making it a fun family getaway, as well! We were there for a long, 3-day weekend, and surprised by how much we did and were able to leave on our list of things to do the next time we visit!Ĭhoctaw Casino and Resort is owned by the Choctaw Nation, but I was surprised to read that there are over 100 casinos in Oklahoma, owned by 30 different tribes, since made legal in 2004! All casinos are located on either Native American reservations or tribal land. We literally turned off our GPS, because there was no way we could miss the behemoth casino sitting just off Hwy 69/75, which in no way resembles the bustling Central Expressway as it rushes through Downtown Dallas. Choctaw Casino and Resort rises above the Oklahoma landscape as you cross the Red River just an hour North of Dallas, with flashing lights to guide you.
