E. Texas Tribe Breaks Ground on Casino Resort

The Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas recently broke ground on the Naskila Casino Resort in Leggett, north of Houston.

The roughly 685,000-square-foot Naskila Casino Resort is on 95 acres of Alabama-Coushatta Tribal land and will include a large gaming floor, a 366-room hotel, entertainment amenities, various dining options, a resort-style pool complex, and an event and conference space.

The resort will be rolled out in phases, with the first phase incorporating several attractions, including:

• Roughly 3,400 electronic bingo machines
• Restaurants, bars, lounges and food hall concepts
• Approximately 35,000 square feet of flexible event and conference space
• A 1,000-person capacity grand ballroom

The new project comes after the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas opened the Naskila Casino in Livingston in 2016, which has created an annual economic impact of $251.7 million.

The first phase of Naskila Casino Resort is expected to be completed by the end of 2028.
