PINE BLUFF, AR. - Pine Bluff has a new premier destination for travelers as the Saracen Casino Resort officially opens its 14-story hotel tower. The milestone opening allows guests to finally book overnight stays at the resort.
Currently, reservations are being accepted via phone, with online booking capabilities expected to launch shortly. Resort representatives Hana Settles and Dawn Stokes noted a significant surge in interest following social media announcements. While this has led to some wait times, management thanked the public for their patience and confirmed that staff have undergone months of training to ensure a high-quality guest experience.
The new tower introduces a high-rise luxury option to the area, featuring panoramic views of the surrounding landscape from the 14th floor. Beyond the views, the resort has emphasized modern interior design, specifically highlighting unique lighting and flooring that guests are encouraged to see in person.
The hotel's opening coincides with a robust entertainment lineup scheduled through the fall. July's calendar includes Jeff Foxworthy on the 11th, Australian Pink Floyd on the 18th, and Flo Rida on the 30th. While tickets for John Legend are already sold out, upcoming performances include Johnny Gill, Lou Gramm, and John Waite in August. September will feature R&B singer Joe and comedian Rodney Carrington.
Looking further ahead, tickets for singer-songwriter Jamie Johnson will go on sale this month, and Mark Martel - celebrated for his role as the voice of Freddie Mercury in the film "Bohemian Rhapsody" - is scheduled to perform a tribute to Queen in October.
In addition to luxury lodging and live entertainment, visitors can enjoy amenities such as the on-site Starbucks. The resort continues to attract high-profile attention, recently hosting country music star Jake Owen.
