It's a big day for River Spirit Casino and Resort and the Tulsa community as they welcome back all their employees and patrons today.
The door will officially open at 8 this morning.
It's been almost a month since the resort close because of rising water from the Arkansas River since the water has receded.
More than 400 restoration workers have been running three shifts a day to prepare for the reopening - making the place look like it did when it first opened.
Not only are officials of the resort happy to welcome back employees and customers - employee's are happy to return to work.
"The first couple of weeks was pretty good, but now it's been a long time, so there has been too much time on my hands and I can't wait to work honestly," bartender Mariah Schnoebelen said.
The annual economic impact of the resort on the Tulsa region is about $169 million.
During the time the casino and resort were closed, the Muscogee Creek Nation principal chief said they were committed to their employees - paying them all.
