\u201cWe got two more casinos to build in this state, and goddamn we\u2019re going to build them,\u201d Harris told 500 tribal members and others at a ribbon cutting for the first phase of the Catawba Two Kings Casino Resort, off Interstate 85 exit 5, 35 miles west of Charlotte.<\/p>\n

Harris declined to identify the two sites when asked by The Charlotte Observer after the ceremony.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t tell you that right now, Harris said. \u201cIt\u2019s all about negotiations. We\u2019ve identified the locations. We\u2019re in preliminary negotiations right now. And once those come to fruition, when we come to deal, we\u2019ll make an announcement.\u201d<\/p>\n

The tribe expects to open the full casino in Kings Mountain in spring 2027 with 4,300 slot machines, 100 live table games, 11 tribal owned- and -operated restaurants, 11 bars and a 24-story, 385-room hotel. The casino will bring 2,200 permanent jobs, officials said.<\/p>\n
