Construction on all aspects of the project is underway, as the foundations for the casino complex and hotel were completed in 2024 and the property is currently standing at full height.
Key Points
- The hotel tower framing is now 10 stories high, with an additional floor being added nearly every week according to the Catawba Nation
- The introductory casino, set to open in spring 2026, will include 1,350 slot machines, 20 table games, sports betting kiosks and a Lucky North Rewards desk
The Catawba Nation stated its Catawba Two Kings Casino Resort project has completed a significant portion of construction throughout the first year of work, as the introductory casino phase is expected to open in spring 2026.
“This casino resort will be an economic game changer for Catawba citizens and a force to drive the economy of Cleveland County and the City of Kings Mountain,” Catawba Nation Chief Brian Harris said.
“This project is a testament to our resilience, our commitment to self-sufficiency and our determination to build a better future for ourselves and our future generations.”
