The 44 best neighborhoods to see in Cherokee (2024)

This was a great quick getaway for me and my husband. We definitely left a significant contribution at the casino 😜 but had fun. Our room was very nice and appeared clean, though I realized that there was a small section of eyelash extensions adhered to the sheet. I believe we had clean sheets. The eyelash section was stuck so securely that it could have been washed and remained stuck. And I don't wear fake eyelashes. There was a refrigerator and microwave in the room. There are decent food options, but the prices reflect that their patrons are a captive audience ($90 for 2 egg rolls, 2 orders of lo mein and a beer). Thankfully self-parking is free. It's worth a trip at least once.

We recently stayed at Harrah’s Cherokee Casino and overall, we had a good experience. The hotel is clean and inviting, and the staff were friendly and pleasant. There are plenty of slot machines and card tables to choose from, so if you enjoy gambling, you’ll have lots to do. Valet parking is free for resort guests, which is a plus since it’s a bit of a walk from the parking deck to the hotel. The landscaping and outdoor areas are beautiful, adding to the resort’s appeal.The food was decent, but for a “Gordon Ramsay” restaurant, we were expecting a higher caliber. Drinks and cocktails were a bit overpriced, and it’s important to note that there are no free cocktails or drinks in the casino. The resort is huge, so it’s easy to get lost if you’re not paying attention, but it’s all part of the experience. It would be helpful if the resort has maps throughout the hallways to provide guidance and directions. There’s also an indoor pool and 24/7 gym, which were clean, although we didn’t use them.Now for the downsides: our pet-friendly room was located on the smoking floor, and the hallway had a very strong smell of pet urine and didn’t appear clean. The carpet leading to the pet/smoking area was dirty, stained, and carried the same unpleasant odor. The bathtub in our room hadn’t been cleaned, and the beds were firm and not the most comfortable.If you visit during the week, there’s not much to do, as the comedy club and club area aren’t open, and there aren’t any shows until the weekend. If you’re new to gambling, be aware that the instructions for how to play the games aren’t very clear, which can be a bit frustrating.Overall, we would recommend this resort for a weekend trip, especially if you enjoy gambling, but there are definitely some areas that could be improved, particularly when it comes to cleanliness of smoking floor/rooms and the clarity of the gaming instructions.

We went to see the Comedy Zone and try our luck in the casino. Loved the show and were pleasantly surprised that you could order food as well as drinks . The casino was beautiful and did not have any smoking at all which I appreciated greatly. Fantastic way to spend a evening.

Beautiful facility and very professional staff. Rooms were spacious and updated.Our request for a creek view room was overlooking a parking deck. We were disappointed not to get the room we purchased.Valet staff gave is hand written directions, which was very polite!Everyone was great, Gordon Ramsey Market was amazing!

Awesome night and day trip at the casino the room was very nice need a blanket on the bed. We managed to stay warm. We had a great time. Gordon Ramsey Fish and chips was very good. Staff was very nice checking in and out my boyfriend surprised me with a Spontaneous trip. We had a great night. Room was very clean and great price.

While the resort had friendly staff there were some definite downsides. First the cons:- despite clearly posted signage the tower hallways reeked of wacky weed, luckily this wasn't an issue in our room.- expect drunk guests to exhibit drunken behavior, we were rudely awakened several times in the wee hours.- the company owns several similarly names properties and the web site does a poor job of distinguishing location when scheduling activities.- be very mindful of meal hours and reduced operation early or late.- room and common space cleanliness and repair varies considerably, this relates to the pet friendly nature of the venue.Pros:-friendly staff and guests, excellent meal experience with a wide choice, the river running through the property offers a restful place to enjoy natural, pet friendly. Free parking and enough of it.

We had such an incredible time at Cherokee Casino—it's clear that the entire team truly values their guests. From the moment we arrived, the valet staff and front desk made us feel immediately welcomed, setting a positive tone for our entire stay. Their warmth and hospitality were palpable, and we felt like we were in great hands throughout our visit. The atmosphere is inclusive and inviting, creating a space where everyone can feel comfortable and celebrated.The energy among the guests was fantastic, and it was wonderful to see such a diverse crowd enjoying themselves. From the excitement of the casino floor to the relaxing dining experience by the creek, Cherokee Casino knows how to balance thrills with tranquility. We especially appreciated the attention to detail in every interaction and the way the team made sure everyone felt at home.And, of course, Gordon Ramsay’s Mushroom Burger was absolutely divine—paired perfectly with truffle fries. It’s clear that the experience here is thoughtfully crafted, both in service and atmosphere. Thank you, Cherokee Casino, for creating such a welcoming and inclusive space. We can’t wait to return!

My family and I LOVE staying at Harrah’s. There is truly something for everyone. The casino, pools, restaurants, shops, and arcade make it to where you can have an enjoyable vacation without ever leaving the resort. We also love that it’s about an hour drive from Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, which makes for a great day trip! Will definitely be back, and soon!

Absolutely beautiful surroundings of the mountains and soco creek that runs through the property has fire-pits and chairs to relax and enjoy the view.Originally decided to stay 2 nights which ended up being 4 nights as I enjoyed it so much.Really enjoyed sports book part of casino and met a-lot of great people while enjoying good conversations.Will return again hopefully 🤞 sometime soon.

It's very nice! It has changed since I first went. The staff is very nice. I didn't have any luck, but I still enjoyed myself. It's nice inside. The drinks were good! Hopefully I'll have better luck next time!

This place is really nice BUT it would be helpful to have better maps and more information about the various areas on their website. The floor numbering varies throughout the entire facility and can be confusing. You can travel from the parking deck across the Skywalk and be in the adjacent area on a different floor. Elevators within the same building may have 1st floor for the ground floor and have G in a different set of elevators. Went Guy's restaurant and it was excellent.

Being at the resort for a conference allowed us to partake in a good amount of the resort amenities. The conference rooms were comfortable. The dining was filling and room was enjoyable. The gaming room was good and staff throughout were always friendly and helpful. (See specifics below)

Experienced Harrah's during a Team bonding event with our company. First off, the food was very good here, the burger I had from Guy Fierri's was good and the service was excellent. I'm not much of a gambler, but the Roulette table and the penny slots were enough to hold my I interest. Great place to come for a quick getaway. 1 to 2 nights max, IMO.

Stayed on 9/10/24. Spent $660 for one night, double queen non-smoking room. Pictures online are NO WHERE near what reality is. Bait and switch of epic portions! We stayed in room 914, and it was like I went back to 1974. Who knows the last time that room had improvement. I shudder to think how old the bed and mattresses were. The springs on both beds squeaked louder than any bed I’ve ever seen. Even though it was non smoking room, other rooms on same floor are smoking, …so you can’t escape the smoke. If you’re like me and grew up around smokers and learned to dislike the smell of smoke, definitely not your “resort”!Bathroom sink was clogged. Nothing like brushing your teeth while 6 inches of your spit and god knows how many other peoples spit backs up.Aspired to check in a little early, so I could make sure my wife was settled before I played a 3pm round of golf. They gouge you another fee for checking in early…doesn’t matter if they have rooms available or not, and despite the fee, they never called to check in early.I freely admit a casino resorts are not necessarily supposed to be kid friendly. My son is 15. The outdoor pool at its deepest point is like 3 or 3 1/2 feet deep…., it’s certainly not a “swimming” pool. More of an old person, drink until you can’t stand up, and stand waste deep for hours on end pool. Never saw the ~100+ drunk people leave the pool…use your imagination. Unless you get there early, you won’t find a pool chair to sit in to save your life. I tried to pay to rent chairs about 2pm that weren’t being used…was told they were already rented…they couldn’t do anything about it.We travel quite a bit, and I admit, I routinely seek the best possible properties…and I do not mind paying “up” for a nice place to lay my head peacefully down at night. I can tell you with 100% certainty, at the ripe age of 50, this is the most regrettable $600+ dollars I’ve ever spent on a hotel of any kind. Unfortunately there’s no competition whatsoever in Cherokee, so even more unfortunately, when my wife and I have the every once in a while itch for a resort that has golf, a Spa, and a place to play cards & slots…and entertainment…our travels will have to take us somewhere else. Won’t be back.

My family stayed in Franklin, NC, for my youngest son's birthday this past week. We decided to visit the Harrah's casino for what was going to be a few hours. The ATM machines were down in every area of the casino, so I had to walk from the far end all the way up and over catwalk to the hotel ATM machine that was charging $8.99 for a withdrawal. I went ahead and did the withdrawal because I really wanted to play a few slot games. Point is when the atm's go down they should have a better plan for providing people who need cash!!

We stopped in for a little while just to check it out. Everything was laid out really well in the casino. It wasn't noisy at all for the time we went. They also have a separate smoking area which I am happy about since we don't smoke. We will definitely be going back when we have more time.

This review is all about the Casino.It's wonderful place to have fun and to refresh yourself from the work. We were there for six hours and never thought it would be of that entertaining.If you are going there for earning money by playing games, then there's no guarantee everyone will be successful (happy), but if you are going for some fun then 100% you will be satisfied.

It was a really great experience, the restaurants were fantastic. The casino was really nice and clean. The machines are tight as always, but there are table games and poker tables if you want to try your luck there. I was really surprised at what a full-service casino this was. Everything was included within the casino All of the restaurants all of the shops and all of the entertainment. Outside in the neighboring towns there are a lot of cool things to see regarding native Americans and their history of suffering as well as perseverance.

It's pretty. Definitely best hotel around as far as slots, table games, ambiance, casino with hotel ,but we never have much luck there at slot machines. And when I mean luck , I'm not meaning that we never win jackpots. I mean we never win more than 80.00 anytime we've ever been. Max bet, min. Bet. Smoking room, non smoking room within casino. 1 cent slots, 1 dollar slots. Doesn't matter. So go to have fun , not to win. I will say they do have free 50.00 to sign up for players card right now.which is nice if you don't already have one. Staffs very nice. .Good luck!
