TULSA, Okla. — Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa is ringing in the New Year in style with double the balloon drops for the night and chances to win cash prizes through the night.
“We’ve been working on this for over nine months now to build the biggest party in Tulsa.” said Jennifer Provence, Hard Rock Casino’s Senior Director of Marketing.
Provence advises that people get to the party early as there will be drawings for $100,000 across the afternoon with one winner taking home $10,000 every hour from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m. and one winner awarded $20,000 at 8 p.m. After the New Year rings in, $50,000 will be awarded with a $5,000 winner announced every hour from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. and a $10,000 winner announced every hour from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. To be eligible for the drawings, you must have at least one active rated play session or One Star Rewards card swipe at any kiosk within two hours of each drawing.

Party doors then open at 10 p.m. leading up to the balloon drop with rapper Tone Loc in Hard Rock Live with a performance and countdown to midnight and then a second balloon drop occuring at Track 5 with Oklahoma’s own Swon Brothers.
“This is our biggest New Year’s Eve to date, ” says Provence. “We’ll have two balloon drops; almost 20,000 balloons across the property that will be falling on midnight to welcome in 2026.”
Provence says with Hard Rock Casino being voted one of Tulsa’s best locations, it has a reputation that it tries to maintain and to do that, they have to get more creative each year.
“Hard Rock has been voted Tulsa’s best 18 times and for us to keep that record, we have to constantly keep reinventing ourselves and finding ways to do something bigger and better each and every year and this year is not different with our New Year’s Eve.”
