The casino has a nice variety of machines. The casino is well ventilated so you are not choking on the smoke like at other casinos. Machines seemed to pay fairly decent. After 3 days, we came home $160 ahead! More

My first time at a casino! we went on a lark just to spend $10 to say I had been to a casino. Little did I know that they give you a $10 voucher when you sign up for a casino card. I had no idea how to play the machines, but they show you. Very nice place. They even... More

MY family and I were very frequent visitors to HARRAH'S CHEROKEE CASINO N RESORT which is about a 2 1/2 hour drive for us. MY mom LOST $300 within a hour playing on the BLACKJACK tables AND then received a $5 COUPON for a specified date in the mail. $5 reimbursment for loosing $300, that was just a insult. I... More

I have visited Harrah's Cherokee many times (approximately 2 to 3 times a month). I am a Diamond member, but the comps. have been reduced drasticly. I reside in Atlanta and this is the closest casino to me (2 hours). In my visits to Cherokee, I have only won once $4800, all of the other times I visit I lose... More

We have been going to this casino since it opened because it is the closest to home and we love the area. Atlantic City is not much further from here, but I prefer Cherokee: the casino and hotel are much nicer than most of the ones in AC, and I feel safe going alone because the security is much better....

The food at the Buffet was wonderful. The casino was huge and many game machines to choose from. Did not win any money, but was fun to play. More

Did not know NO cards on tables.....all electronic. Need more black jack games with smaller mins. Wheel of Fortune was good. Put in 100 at a time and play the max. Made about 260 in about 30 minutes. Shame there was NO rooms on a Sunday or Monday night (no holiday and middle of the month). We will go back... More

The first time I visited this casino, I swore I'd never return. It was so filled with smoke, it was hard to see your hand in front of your face. Now, they have a designated smoking area so it isn't so bad. It's a casino. Nothing fancy. Machine games and live dealers. The food is way overpriced and not very... More
