LEGGETT, Texas \u2014 June 18, 2026 \u2014 A new era for Naskila Casino and the Alabama\u2011Coushatta Tribe of Texas is officially underway after tribal leaders, community members, and project partners gathered Thursday for the groundbreaking of the future Naskila Casino Resort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ceremony marks a defining milestone as the Tribe celebrates 10 years of Naskila Casino operations and accelerates its long\u2011term vision for economic growth in East Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The resort will rise on a 95\u2011acre site in Leggett, transforming the existing gaming destination into a full\u2011scale regional attraction. Plans call for an expanded gaming floor, upscale hotel, multiple dining venues, entertainment spaces, a resort\u2011style pool complex, and flexible event and conference facilities designed to draw visitors from across Texas and neighboring states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tribal leaders emphasized that the project represents far more than a construction milestone \u2014 it is a generational investment in jobs, tourism, and community development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The future resort \u201cwill build on Naskila\u2019s success as a major economic driver for East Texas,\u201d tribal officials said, noting that the expansion will create new employment opportunities, strengthen partnerships, and deliver long\u2011lasting benefits for tribal citizens, employees, and surrounding communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Alabama\u2011Coushatta Tribe thanked the many supporters who attended the groundbreaking, including community members, employees, and guests who have helped make Naskila \u201cThe Luckiest Spot in Texas\u201d over the past decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With shovels in the ground and construction now underway, the Tribe says the journey toward a larger, more dynamic Naskila Casino Resort has officially begun and more updates will be shared as the project progresses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
