Yeah, it's also shamed they didn't do it at a better lake, say Eufuala.

Yeah. I don't know much about Texoma or Eufuala, but I've heard they're both beautiful lakes. Oklahoma needs more resort or getaway towns, imo.

I've been to both over the years and IMO Texoma doesn't hold a candle to Eufaula. Texoma, to me is overpriced and isn't near as good of a lake. I think the big reason for development is because they want to get the Texan's money, because it seems like that's all that's at the lake are the big buyers from Dallas. I've just never been a fan.

The rock bottom lakes in NE and SE Oklahoma are much nicer than Texoma and Eufaula, IMO. They just don't have sand beaches but the water quality is much better. Eufaula by the dam can be okay but the rest is always muddy especially in the summer. Tenkiller and Broken Bow are absolutely gorgeous and are still pretty undeveloped. Grand is the most developed lake in the state and its water quality isn't what it used to be but is still really nice. Skiatook by Tulsa is smaller but has good water quality and lots of hills around it reminds me a lot of the Hill Country lakes in Texas.

Hands down Broken Bow is the best lake in the state. There is a lot more development there than there was even 5 years ago.

Pointe Vista lots are for sale on Lake Texoma shoreline
Pointe Vista, a 2,700-acre premier community along the Lake Texoma shoreline, broke ground on their first development. Bridge Pointe includes 58 town home and condo residences with lakefront and hilltop options.

PS, on that website there are scores of news articles about the project. This is pretty big deal for the region at for Oklahoma's part and I'd say we should build an E-W freeway connection from Durant to I-35.

Today I was driving through Kingston on my way to Durant and they are starting dirt work on the Pointe Vista on Lake Texoma just before you enter the bridge for the lake. On the North side of I70 there's a billboard with what looks like a rendering of a neighborhood. 17509

Awesome! Oklahoma is really starting to take off with this, NE OK, and Medicine Park. If only Lawton could get it’s actually together and get some small momentum going.

The guys who own this, Chickasaw Point and everything around there are finally really getting going on this. Doesn’t hurt that they just sold Dippin dots for $220 million after buying it for $12 back in 2009 but even before that they were gearing up to pick up the pace here. Going to be a great development. Casino will be going in nearby as well.

The first image is an aerial from April.

The only dirt moving is in the area of the new Chickasaw casino.

That’s what I’d heard as well. They just hired several people to manage the project though (which is one of the most aggressive moves I’ve seen them make since purchasing it) so I’d be surprised if things don’t start moving within the next 6 months to a year, just not sure where the starting point will be now. I’ll see what I can find out next time I’m up there.

Side note, I played the course last fall and it’s in great shape. Really pretty and fun layout if anyone finds themselves down that direction and wants to play a round.

Here's their website. https://www.pointevista.com/development When built out this will be impressive!

Has anyone heard any updates on this project? It looks like they are starting to build houses in the Reflection Pointe area, curious if/when the hotel and lagoon are actually going to start construction...

they are starting to build houses. I think the hotel is supposed to start next year but I’ll see if I can confirm.

Would be amazing if so, thanks for the update!

LAKE TEXOMA, Texas, Jan. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Hard Rock International in partnership with Pointe Vista Holding Company announced development plans for the Hard Rock Hotel at Lake Texoma and The Residences at the Hard Rock Hotel Lake Texoma. Set to begin construction in March 2024, the Hard Rock Hotel and Residences will be located within the Pointe Vista development, joining a 2,700-acre master-planned resort community featuring over 19 miles of shoreline, a golf course, enclosed waterpark, family entertainment center, amphitheater, casino and more. The project is expected to create over 9,000 jobs in the area.

With a planned Q2 2026 opening, the new Hard Rock development will be a premier destination on the Oklahoma-Texas border featuring both natural splendor and a breadth of resort amenities. The area is the ideal location for summer activities on the water, conventions, events, and excitement-filled days and nights year-round. It is the only resort venue serving all of North Texas and the entire State of Oklahoma with this broad assortment of amenities.

"We're excited to expand our award-winning hotel portfolio and bring our unique brand of hospitality and entertainment to Lake Texoma and the Pointe Vista development," said Todd Hricko, Senior Vice President and Head of Global Hotel Development for Hard Rock International. "We're especially thankful to Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt for his support of our new Hard Rock development in Pointe Vista."

"It's my pleasure to welcome the development of the Hard Rock Hotel and Residences at Lake Texoma. This will provide even more opportunity for guests to visit this beautiful area and create huge economic opportunity for this community," said Governor Kevin Stitt.

"Our collaboration will be a great success with Hard Rock International and a very positive contribution to the Pointe Vista community," said Mark Fischer, CEO of Pointe Vista Holding Company. "We're thrilled to create a unique residence and entertainment destination."

The new Hard Rock Hotel at Lake Texoma will welcome all guests with the signature guitar at the main entryway and is set to have 189 rooms with 25 suites and 168 residence rentals. The 18,000-square-foot conference center and event lawn is perfect for weddings, social events, and corporate events. This property also includes many amenities such as an 11-acre Caribbean Bay water area with white sand beaches featuring islands and cabanas, Rock Spa, Body Rock Fitness, Hard Rock Roxity Kids Club, conference center, rooftop bar, fine dining and all-day dining, Rock Shop featuring Hard Rock's world-famous merchandise and other unique items. The development is serviced by an onsite highly rated golf course and a 320-slip marina. Lake Texoma attracts nearly seven million visitors every year, hosting multiple fishing and golf tournaments at the country's 14th-largest reservoir. Whether you are wrangling with a large bass or just enjoying the sun, you will want to experience this active lifestyle resort with a music-filled environment.

"We're looking forward to operating this property in partnership with Hard Rock International, a company that continues to expand and explore innovative ways to bring world-class entertainment to guests," said Tiffany Cooper, Chief Development Officer at Aimbridge Hospitality, a third-party management company that will operate the Hard Rock Hotel and Hard Rock Residential Program.

So no new casino then? Glad it won't be built with one as the focal point.

The Chickasaw’s already have a casino in the middle of the development. I would imagine that Hard Rock will end up with some kind of partnership with the casino at minimum.

Wonder if they will rebrand the casino as a Hard Rock. I feel like their casino brand is stronger now than even the cafe, but that may just be my inclination because they don't have one around here.

The whole south border of Oklahoma is nothing but Texas tourism at this point.

Things are really rolling down there. The Casino is finished and doing a good business at the spot of the old Lodge. Lots are being developed around the golf course. I think it's really going to happen finally. Fallen made a big mistake selling off the lodge and golf course. As far as the Lake goes, I've got a place down there on the Lake and I personally think it's one of the best lakes in Oklahoma. Stripers, sandy beaches, and plenty of room to enjoy water sports. I don't particularly care for rocky lakes with no beaches. Just my opinion.

yeah I’m glad to see it finally moving forward after years. The $200 million cash infusion from the sale of dip n dots definitely helped kick things into another gear. Going to be a really cool development for the state.

I"ve mentioned on here a few times over the years that old state lodge land would have been perfect for a huge casino/lake resort. I don't recall anything about this massive project until the Hard Rock announcement so l'm very happy to see someone is making it happen!
