Osage Nation delays two casino openings to fall 2023
The Osage Nation has been working on two new casino projects in Oklahoma. One is in Pawhuska and the other is located in Bartlesville. Both were set to open in the fall of this year but have now been delayed due to supply chain problems involving materials needed for construction.
The construction of the Osage Nation casinos has been delayed due to supply chain issues. The Bartlesville casino should open on October 27, 2023, and the Pawhuska casino will open a few weeks later on November 10. Both casinos will offer hotels, swimming pools and spas, meeting space, a meeting room and fitness areas.
The city council in Bartlesville agreed to provide the utility service for the facility and improve the infrastructure in areas nearby. The area also needs an upgrade to its wastewater connection system. Osage Nation and the city agreed that they would split the cost of upgrading the system, with the tribe paying $1 million.
