The Cherokee Nation has started construction on the new Cherokee Casino in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, bringing more entertainment, dining and convention options to the area.

“We believe in making sound investments that have a lasting impact on the Cherokee Nation and the Cherokee people,” said Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Bill John Baker. “This new property will be a regional attraction for tourism and economic development and is a complement to the work happening at Cherokee Springs Plaza and all over the Tahlequah area.”
