Cherokees Prepare For Large Casino Expansion
Taking Mom to a casino doesn't sound like the traditional way to celebrate Mother's Day in Oklahoma. But the $100 million Cherokee Casino Resort served more than 4,000 such guests Sunday, making Mother's Day another highlight in its remarkable history.
"It was like a small city in here," said David Stewart, chief executive of Cherokee Nation Enterprises.
That business arm of the Cherokee Nation has enjoyed strong growth since its sprawling Catoosa resort doubled in size in 2004 ? in a market its leaders feel offers wide room for growth.
"We definitely have not reached our saturation point," said Stewart. "Actually, when you build new facilities, you create new market. "
