Choctaw Landing is a $238 million resort and casino that opened in Hochatown in May 2024, a different kind of stop on a trip that's otherwise all trailheads and lake water. It's useful to know about even if gambling isn't the draw: it's also a hotel, a pool, and a handful of restaurants and bars. Hours and offerings change, so check current details before you go.
Overview
The resort sits on the Hochatown strip on OK-259A, not inside Beavers Bend State Park itself. It’s a four-story building with a 100-room hotel (part of Wyndham’s Trademark Collection) and a casino floor with slot machines and table games including blackjack, roulette, and poker. It’s a separate property from the older, smaller Choctaw Casino Broken Bow — the two are about ten minutes apart, and it’s easy to assume they’re the same place until you’ve been to both.
Why Visit
Most of what’s covered elsewhere in this guide is weather-dependent — trails, the lake, ziplining. Choctaw Landing isn’t. It’s an indoor option with long hours, which makes it a real answer to “what do we do if it rains for two days,” not just a novelty stop. Beyond the casino floor, the resort itself has enough going on — a pool with cabanas and fire pits, multiple dining and bar options, an outdoor amphitheater, a family game zone — to fill a half-day even for visitors who have no interest in gambling. Hours and offerings change, so check before you go.
What to Expect
The casino floor is open to the public, whether or not you’re staying at the hotel, though it’s worth checking current hours before a very late or very early visit. Dining options include the hotel’s main restaurant plus several outdoor bar and dining venues, and there’s a Starbucks and a small grocery store on site for anything you didn’t pack. The pool area has cabanas and fire pits, and there’s an outdoor amphitheater for events, worth checking their site for what’s currently booked and open.
The casino floor itself is the one part of the property that’s adults-oriented by nature, so if you’re planning a family visit around the resort amenities rather than the gaming, stick to the pool, dining, and family game zone.
Local Tips
It’s an easy add-on to a Hochatown evening — close enough to the restaurants and breweries on the strip that you can treat it as one more stop rather than a separate trip. It tends to keep long hours, which makes it one of the few useful options if weather cancels an outdoor plan mid-trip, rather than something you have to build a whole day around in advance. Check current hours and offerings before you go.
