2016 North American BIM Awards - River Spirit Casino Resort

Prodraft, Inc.'s River Spirit Casino Expansion, Phase II positioned along the Tulsa Oklahoma Riverfront is going to have a laid back, island feel. “Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville Casino” and the “It’s 5 o’clock Somewhere” bar help create that atmosphere. The project will consist of a 27 story/ 316’-0 hotel tower, 45,000 square feet of additional casino space, a 30,000+ square ft. convention center to accommodate 1,000, a theater style, entertainment space that will seat 2,500 and additional parking.

Some notable components of the steel framing include the very intricate pool house with exposed structural steel, the unique steel skeleton for the interior volcano structure, 37’-2 long W36 cantilevered beams at the entrance canopy, complex catwalk system in the grand theater, floor trusses at the casino, and complicated geometry throughout. The detailing began in September of 2014 and was substantially complete in May of 2016.
