Being from Houston, I usually bring a travel humidifier, but forgot mine on this trip. Another little think I loved was that our window opened, and I was able to leave it cracked to allow a little cold, fresh air in while we slept.

My favorite things about the Inn were it’s close proximity to the outdoor pools (in truth all 3 have easy access). We found easy parking at the Inn but did have to carry our bags up to our room. While there isn’t valet parking at the Inn, you can valet at the Towers and walk to your room. The oldest of the 3, it’s a 2 story hotel. It’s nice that all 3 are all connected, by hallways to the casinos and amenities, so you never need to go outside! You have 3 options on where to stay at Choctaw the Inn, the Grand Tower and the Spa Tower. Lobby in the Inn at Choctaw Casino and Resort, DurantĬhoctaw is a casino, but it’s also a resort and there were a ton of kids! I really was surprised how many kids were there during the winter! To learn more about the Choctaw Nation, who was a farming community in the SE United States until they were removed to Oklahoma during the Trail of Tears in the 1830’s, click HERE to visit their website. 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.
