Muskogee
Spend 1 day in Muskogee: see the museums, park and casino, then drive to Tulsa (≈45 km) or Oklahoma City (≈140 km).
Muskogee is a small Oklahoma city (≈37 k pop) with a handful of museums, a large park and a casino. All main sights sit within a 5‑km radius, so a single day covers them; an extra night is only for a relaxed stay or casino gaming.
