My recent stay at Harrah's Casino Resort in Cherokee, NC, was a delightful mix of luxury and leisure, offering a plethora of amenities that catered well to both relaxation and entertainment needs. The resort boasts an expansive and elegantly decorated space that instantly uplifts your mood with its luxurious decor. It truly is a one-stop destination, providing not only plush lodging but also a wide array of dining options, diverse gaming opportunities, and live entertainment--all under one roof.
The property is thoughtfully designed with plenty of cozy seating areas scattered throughout, perfect for some downtime. Pet lovers will appreciate the pet-friendly policy, ensuring no family member is left behind. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, which is a big plus after a long day of fun. Security is tight and commendable, with age restrictions diligently enforced, ensuring a safe environment for all guests. The rooms were well-maintained, the casino offered a variety of games, and the bowling was not only fun but also reasonably priced.
Adding to the convenience, self-parking at the resort is FREE, which is a significant perk for those driving in. On the dining front, while the food was of high quality, the cost was on the higher side, averaging about $40 per meal including drinks and tip, which might not appeal to everyone. The location, although scenic, poses a challenge for those unaccustomed to mountainous driving, especially at night when the absence of cellular signals can be a bit daunting. Additionally, the lack of fast-food options nearby might be a downside for some. Lastly, the method of contacting the front desk via a texting service rather than a direct phone call might not be everyone's preference, though it modernizes guest service interaction.
Overall, Harrah's Casino Resort stands out for its comprehensive offerings that brilliantly blend luxury with fun, making it a worthy consideration for those planning a trip to the area. Its proximity to local attractions like Dollywood and the Tanger Outlets adds to its allure, making it a convenient base for exploring the greater Cherokee region.
