Or… perhaps “resume” would be a better choice of words. The Creek Nation’s River Spirit Casino and Hotel is again open.
A portion of the resort was flooded last month by the Arkansas River. Tribal Chief James Floyd offered praise to staff and remediation crews.
The complex reopened 10-days earlier than what had originally been expected. Employees did not miss a paycheck during the closing. The tribe paid the workers in full. That cost $2.5-million.
