This (http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/article.aspx?subjectid=11&articleid=20130319_11_A1_CUTLIN698572) is going to be a really nice addition to Tulsa based on the rendering provided in the article. I love the blue glass. I wouldn't mind something like this popping up on the shores of the North Canadian River.
Reminds me of a resort in the video game "Dead Island." Without the zombies, of course.
Anyway, pretty cool! I wonder how they're going to keep those palm trees alive during the next ice storm.

Very cool development! OKC needs a destination spot like this. Too bad they won't allow anything like this to be built.

There was supposed to be something similar to this on I-35 and Britton/Hefner area in NE OKC but obviously fell through. Was supposed to have hotel, casino, and golf course if I remember.

This is going to be really big for the whole state! They are also in talks to build an outlet mall on the other side of the river with water taxi both ways. But I think the big story is what Hard Rock is about to announce. Both of these will bring a lot of people from out of state which is good for all of Oklahoma!!

I saw that the tribe is going to perform a 3 million dollar makeover of the Hard Rock. I'm happy for Tulsa, these are both nice entertainment options that can draw tourists.

And because you've already stated such, I think an awesome place along our river would be either the north bank east of Bryant and south of NE 10th or on the south bank north of NE 4th and west of Sunnylane. I also think the city should allocate for another river dam to be built just north of NE 10th to allow for a more full river since the I-44 and I-35 crossings are like this. The river under Fort Smith Junction looks pitiful and I think extending the content of the river would help with more east side city development in those areas.
Sorry for getting off topic on a Tulsa thread that's on okctalk.com :)
