On April 20, the Muscogee (Creek) Nation announced that its River Spirit Casino Resort will be hosting the Miss USA and Miss Teen USA competitions in Tulsa this fall. The pageant will be held November 26-29, 2021, in the Paradise Cove Theater. Over 100 contestants are expected travel to Oklahoma from each state to compete for the title of Miss USA and Miss Teen USA. Miss USA Organization President Crystle Stewart called it a “state of the art entertainment center that rivals any of the centers I have been to around the world, not just in the Nation.” Stewart won the Miss USA 2008 title and has been a part of the organization since that time. “At the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, we anticipated that if we built River Spirit Casino Resort to the highest caliber possible, prominent events such as the Miss USA Organization would be attracted to River Spirit,” Principal Chief David Hill said. “Today’s announcement is a testament to those ambitious efforts and our ability to compete in the national arena for high-profile events.” Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum commended the Muscogee (Creek) Nation for being a “tremendous driving force” in the local economy. More than 3,000 visitors are also expected.
