Last month, the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas and Naskila Casino broke ground on what will become the future Naskila Casino Resort, a 685,000 square foot oasis in Leggett, TX, about 80 miles northeast of Houston.
According to KFDM, the resort casino will include an expanded gaming floor, a 366-room hotel, entertainment amenities, dining options, a resort-style pool complex and event and conference space when completed.
Keith Sherer, general manager of Naskila Casino, said in a statement during the ground-breaking ceremony, “Today marks an important milestone in Naskila's journey and the future of the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe.
“What began as a vision has grown into a significant economic driver for East Texas, and this next phase allows us to build on that momentum. Naskila Casino Resort will create new opportunities, attract visitors from across the region and deliver lasting benefits for the Tribe, our employees, and surrounding communities for generations to come.”
The first phase of the project is expected to open sometime in 2028, and will feature approximately 3,400 electronic bingo machines, dedicated smoking and non-smoking gaming areas, a high-limit VIP area, multiple restaurants, bars and lounges, and approximately 35,000 square feet of event and conference space.
