LAKE TEXOMA, OK; Jan. 16, 2024 – Today, Hard Rock International in partnership with Pointe Vista

The project is expected to create over 9,000 jobs in the area.

With a planned 2Q 2026 opening, the new Hard Rock development will be a premier destination on the
Oklahoma-Texas border featuring both natural splendor and a breadth of resort amenities. The area is the
ideal location for both summer and winter, offering an array of water-based and indoor waterpark
activities, hosting conventions and events, and excitement-filled days and nights year-round. It’s the only
resort venue serving all of north Texas and the entire State of Oklahoma with this broad assortment of
amenities,  

“We’re excited to expand our award-winning hotel portfolio and bring our unique brand of hospitality and
entertainment to Lake Texoma and the Pointe Vista development,” said Todd Hricko, Senior Vice

the Pointe Vista community,” said Mark Fischer, CEO of Pointe Vista Holding Company. “We’re thrilled to

technology of Oasis Springs to work to bring about a premier water amenity at Lake Texoma. Caribbean
Bay, the first Oasis Spring in the State of Oklahoma, will offer residents and visitors a unique, appealing,
safe, clean body of water to create cherished moments. We feel privileged to be part of the dynamic
collaboration and are committed to curating an unparalleled destination that seamlessly merge luxury,
entertainment, and extraordinary guest experiences while but also invigorating the local economy," stated
