Rock & Brews Casino in northern Oklahoma is moving forward with a significant expansion project that includes a 25,000 sq. ft. entertainment center and a 21-space, full-service RV park, with construction efforts currently in progress.
Construction began in May, and approximately 30 construction workers are actively working on the site.
Groundwork for the R&B Live entertainment center began in late July, with an estimated completion date set for August 2027. The RV park, which initiated construction first and is situated about 100 yards southeast of the casino, is on schedule for completion in October 2026.
“When we broke ground in May, we understood this expansion would mark an important next chapter for Rock & Brews Casino,” stated Bruce McClure, GM of Rock & Brews Casino. “Now, with crews actively engaged in both projects, guests can start to witness that next chapter unfolding.”
“R&B Live and the RV park will offer us new opportunities to welcome visitors, expand our entertainment offerings, and continue solidifying Rock & Brews Casino as a regional attraction,” he added.
R&B Live will feature a 1,000-seat venue constructed for live performances and large-scale events such as concerts, comedy shows, boxing, MMA, game shows, and trade shows, in addition to private and tribal gatherings.
The center will also include a bistro-style bar, an open gathering space, a VIP-style private dining room, and a retail store selling Rock & Roll merchandise under the Rock & Brews brand.
“The new expansion represents a significant milestone for Kaw Nation,” explained Kaw Nation Chair Kim Jenkins. “It goes beyond just a building. It is a vital capital investment in the future of our people, our culture, and the continued growth of Kaw Nation. In addition to bringing crowd-pleasing concerts and a wide range of events, the event center will serve as a venue for our cultural gatherings, rain or shine.”
“The addition of the RV park will provide guests the opportunity to stay, experience, and truly discover all that we have to offer. Together, these developments will infuse new energy into our guests while enhancing the overall ambiance of our property. This investment is not just about today; it is about building a strengthened foundation for tomorrow. By creating opportunities for economic growth, cultural connection, and community engagement, we are helping ensure a brighter future for generations to come,” Jenkins added.
The RV park will provide full hookups for water, sewer, and electricity, as well as a 1,200 sq. ft. clubhouse with restrooms, showers, and a self-service laundry facility.
The project follows the casino’s boondocking program, which offers complimentary overnight stays for RV travelers without hookup services; participation in this program directly led to plans for a permanent RV destination along the I-35 corridor.
“The response to our boondocking program indicated a clear demand,” stated Bill Schutte, President of Kaw Gaming Inc. “The new RV park gives us the opportunity to better serve travelers along I-35 while introducing more visitors to Rock & Brews Casino and the Kaw Nation. Seeing construction now in progress across the expansion is an exciting step towards bringing that vision to life.”
