Riverwind Casino Tulsa Flooding
TULSA — The River Spirit Casino Resort will close its property at 2 p.m. Wednesday due to the anticipated rise in the Arkansas River.
The closure requires the removal of all hotel guests, gaming visitors and vehicles from parking lots and parking garages.
Current guests are being relocated to other properties. Guests with reservations through the weekend are being contacted to reschedule their visits, and guests with tickets to attend the 'Rocktopia' event on Thursday will be notified of refunds and/or event reschedule.
'The elevation of the resort property was built to sustain a 100-year flood, however the impact of water levels to access the property, and to best protect our guests and employees, requires us to completely close the property until further notice,' said CEO Pat Crofts. 'As we continue to assess water levels and receive updates from the Corps of Engineers, we will send community updates as available.'

The property closed on May 22 as a result of the increased rise in the Arkansas River.
“There are too many unknowns until the water recedes so that we may assess the property and prioritize the most immediate issues to address in order to expedite reopening,” Crofts said. “Based on today’s projection by the U.S. Army Corp. of Engineers, we are hopeful the water release will be reduced to a manageable level.”
Crofts expects to provide an update next week after a total assessment of the property and how quickly the power can be brought back online.

“While the photos and videos may appear alarming, we want to reassure the public that River Spirit, including the 27-story hotel, Margaritaville and Ruth’s Chris restaurants, and both our gaming floors remain unaffected by the water surrounding our property,” Crofts said. “We will have some amenities, such as the pool and spa that are on the ground level of the Resort, that may be impacted longer for clean-up and repairs.”
Guests are scheduled to stay through June 2019 are being notified of the closure, the resort says. Events, concerts and major meetings are being notified to reschedule for a future date.
