Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, recognized as the world’s premier hotel franchising company, is making significant strides in expanding its upscale and lifestyle offerings. This comes through an exciting multi-hotel deal with the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, which adds four vibrant properties—totaling nearly 2,000 rooms—to the Wyndham portfolio. At the forefront is the Choctaw Casino & Resort-Durant, now proudly part of the Wyndham Grand portfolio, while the other three resorts will join Wyndham’s acknowledged Trademark Collection by Wyndham brand. Notably, the Choctaw Nation maintains ownership and management of all four resorts, ensuring a local touch remains intact.
This strategic move aligns perfectly with a broader trend: the rising popularity of regional gaming destinations among travelers across the nation. In fact, research from the American Gaming Association reveals that over half of Americans engaged in gaming activities in 2024. That year also saw tribal gaming generate a remarkable $43.9 billion in revenue across the country, positioning Oklahoma as one of the fastest-growing markets in this sector.
An Entertainment Destination, Elevated by Wyndham
Just a short 90-minute drive north of Dallas lies the Choctaw Casino & Resort-Durant, a luxurious Wyndham Grand property that promises an exhilarating playground where top-tier entertainment meets relaxed resort ambiance. Spanning more than 1,600 rooms and suites spread across multiple hotel towers, the resort features one of the largest gaming floors globally, hosting over 7,400 slot machines and more than 100 table games. For those keen on poker, a robust poker room awaits. After a day of gaming, guests can enjoy the 3,000-seat entertainment venue, more than 40 culinary options across restaurants, bars, and lounges, and a collection of six unique retail shops.
For relaxation, Choctaw Casino & Resort offers a fantastic range of outdoor and wellness activities. Visitors can indulge in rejuvenating treatments at the full-service spa or lounge by one of several inviting pools. OASIS, an adults-only retreat, caters to those looking for tranquility, while AQUA boasts a three-acre, palm-lined playground complete with private cabanas, outdoor bars, waterslides, and a fun splashpad for families. The District, another gem within the resort, offers 20 bowling lanes, classic arcade games, and a six-screen cinema, providing entertainment options for guests of all ages. Additionally, meeting and event planners can benefit from 100,000 sq. ft. of state-of-the-art conference and event space.
In addition to the flagship Durant location, three other Choctaw resorts have joined the Trademark Collection by Wyndham, expanding the portfolio with the impressive Choctaw Landing Casino & Resort – Hochatown, Choctaw Casino & Resort-Pocola, and Choctaw Casino & Resort-Grant. This addition significantly bolsters the Trademark Collection by Wyndham’s esteemed Entertainment Collection, which highlights independent hotels in premier gaming and entertainment locales—from iconic Las Vegas establishments to regional gaming destinations in Atlantic City, Reno, and Biloxi.
Choctaw Casinos & Resorts holds a prominent position in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, actively engaging in sponsorships of major league sports teams, like the Dallas Mavericks, Dallas Stars, and Texas Rangers. The brand is also an Official Supporter of the Dallas World Cup 2026 Host City. Adding star power to their branding, they collaborate with legendary sports figures such as football greats Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, and Darren Woodson, as well as Texas Rangers Hall of Famer Ivan “Pudge” Rodriguez. Notably, Choctaw Casino & Resort-Durant is part of the prestigious World Series of Poker tour, annually hosting several high-stakes tournaments with million-dollar prizes.
Supporting Growth Through the Wyndham Advantage
The partnership between Wyndham and the Choctaw Nation is strengthened by the Wyndham Advantage, which combines top-tier marketing, distribution channels, and operational resources designed to enhance growth. This initiative is further underscored by over $375 million in technological investments since 2018, providing Choctaw’s resorts with cutting-edge tools including advanced property management systems and revenue management platforms, along with centralized sales and marketing support.
In the coming weeks, the four Choctaw resorts will be available across Wyndham’s diverse booking channels. Additionally, they will be accessible to members of Wyndham Business, a complimentary travel program tailored for businesses of all sizes. This program seamlessly combines top-notch travel management tools with exclusive discounts and perks from Wyndham Rewards Business, broadening the appeal for corporate travelers.
