A new gaming resort under construction in Catoosa by the Cherokee Nation will also boost the local economy.

When completed, the resort will cover 80,000 square feet. There will be a 150 room hotel, upscale decor and a golf course. The Cherokee tribe says when it's done, it will be like a slice of Vegas in Oklahoma. The casino is scheduled to open at the end of September
