We are immersed in the sounds of Omni Hotel construction as we visit Scissortail Park before heading across Robinson to the hotel, which opens January 26, for an interview with Omni Oklahoma City General Manager Steve Keenan. Steve tells us about specials and options for residents to take advantage of, as well as some of the special designs and plans for the hotel that will be sure to please. We also talk shopping and eating locally for the holidays and some VeloCityOKC stories you should check out, like Christmas dinner options from Chamber members.
