Harrahs Hotel and Casino

The Harrahs in Cherokee is a beautiful hotel. It is full of Indian artifacts and pictures that shows the history of their heritage. The Casino in located in the valley surrounded by mountains. There is a wonderful, calm and beautiful stream that runs in between the hotel and its ajoining casino. The scenery is so captivating and ralaxing, one day feels like forever. We went during the second week of December in 2008, the hotel was decorated with Christmas trees in almost every corner. They are massive and perfessionally put together almost like they were bought out of a catalog.

There are several places in the casino to suit your needs for eating. Anywhere from stop in and pick up to fine dinning. There are also two gift shops. On the main floor of the casino is a small chocolate shop to satify your sweet tooth. There is a coffee shop on the second floor with your choice of any type of sweet desert.

We took a drive through the town of Cherokee, with its antique building and cottage still shops. The scenery is an experience in itself.

If you have some down time, I would recommend spending a few days in the mountains of Cherokee, North Carolina.
