Still nowhere close, though, to WinStar’s 46. The Choctaw poker room will expand from 18 tables to 30, making it the same size as the Mirage and Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas (and slightly bigger than the Wynn). We all know where that came from, of course:ĭetails on the expansion project (including the number of jobs it will create) here. “Texas hold’em / Ain’t nobody foldin’!” Rockin’! * Third is my number, btw, based on Business Week data, despite WinStar’s claim that they are just 5th.Īt 110,000 square feet, the Choctaw Casino in Durant, Okla., will have the same amount of gaming space as Wynn Las Vegas, and slightly more than Wynn Macao.
Not only is WinStar now the third-largest casino in the world*, but also Choctaw (the “other” casino for Dallas people) is undergoing an expansion that will make it the 17th largest in the world.
It really is amazing what the people of Texas have built in Oklahoma.
