Durant

Durant is in the Chickasaw Country region of Oklahoma. Teddy and Eleanor Roosevelt once spoke here, even though it was a sundown town. It gained impetus through the railroad and eventually became a major commerce area for the Choctaw Tribe, with their casino and other investments.

The Choctaw Casino Resort is definitely a principal place of lodging here, with its hotel tower and irregularly shaped pool surrounded by caves and bridges, its dining options and gaming.
