I'm a Reno-Lake Tahoe resident and casino habitue with upcountry South Carolina roots. I found that 1) the hotel-casino is no longer totally dry. Beer and wine are served in the hotel restaurants ( a completely separate building and a long hike from the casino, itself an unusual arrangement) and in a lounge, guarded by 2 uniformed security, adjoining the... more

We did not stay at the hotel but wanted to visit the casino for a little gambling. If you are not a smoker, you'll probably choke on the cigarette smoke first of all. We are not big gamblers, but like the slot machines occasionally. If you want to play in 95% of them, you have to get a "players card,"... more

I really like the hotel at Harrah's Cherokee. It is always clean, beds are wonderful. Every room has a refrigerator and coffee pot. Rooms and bathrooms are spacious. Check-in is on the first floor, as well as an indoor pool and fitness room. For the kiddies, there is also an arcade room, but check on the days and times it... more

We have been going to Cherokee Casino since June 2009. I have written Total Rewards many times about our comps. We are receiving nothing in the mail. Alfred Skidmore Rewards # 12600638897 & Nancy Skidmore Rewards # 12600638900 more

A friend introduced me to Harrahs a year ago and we both found the same thing. After 20+ trips together it's ALWAYS the same. 90% of the time it's lose lose lose. We can each play 25 different games with zero chance of any fun maybe over several visits. Then somehow it's win time. Even on 5 or 8 different... more

I decided to give Harrah's Cherokee one more try after nearly choking on the cigarette smoke at my first visit. I guess my mistake was in assuming that this Harrah's was a pleasant resort and not just a gambling joint. Wrong!! Among other things I could not take my teenage son to the buffet as it is on the other... more

I was comped one night at Harrah's so stayed in the Soco Tower in July and I'm only a gold member. The staff and security at Harrah's are great. The room was very nice, comfortable, roomy, clean and very, very quite. My sister was very impressed! The second night we moved to the Holiday Inn (comped by Harrah's as well)... more

Since I did not have a Valentine, I decided to drive up to Cherokee and play the slots. Day 1: It was the smokiest casino that I had ever been in! I mean really smokey! Like others have previously said, the slots were tight and I lost $700 on playing quarters and dollars. I just don't like the "Lock &... more

I am not an avid gamble but I love to go to the casino every now and then. I have been giong to Harrah's Cherokee for about 2 years now and when i first started going, I was winning pretty good. I'd hit quite often but of course not everytime. In the last few months, I havent won a thing.... more
