| africash's Full Review: Holiday Inn Cherokee Nc |
I had the pleasure of visiting the Cherokee Casino and Hotel in Cherokee NC recently.
This Casino and Hotel are located on the Cherokee Reservation and operated by Native Americans.
The setting was absolutely beautiful and the climate was wonderful in the NC hills
The casino rivals most anything you will find in Las Vegas with a large playing floor. There is even a learning area where you can play free to get the hang of the games on the floor. This was something I had not seen in a lot of Casino's so they get brownie points there too!
All of the games in the casino are video based and there is gaming only in one building in the complex. This is due to an accord that the tribe reached with the state of North Carolina in their gambling compact.
Nevertheless, there is plenty of action for you to spend your gambling dollars on!
The huge casino is being expanded to make for even more gambling square footage.....WOW!
The new Cherokee Hotel has just opened and it is already booked well into the future. In fact, hotel space is kind of hard to come by there. Although there are plenty of hotel rooms, there are also plenty of gamblers who want to play in this Vegas like hideaway.
Inside the hotel, you will find plenty of alcoves with very comfortable seating and the interior motif is decorated from different groups from the Cherokee nation. The inside artwork and décor is entirely made up of Native American artwork. The result is simply beautiful! The lobby is functional and in the Native American decorative motif also. There is a coffee shop on the second floor level which was being readied for its initial opening and adjacent to the coffee shop is a very nicely stocked gift shop with top quality name brand apparel and items. The prices are a little above the retail level but you are in a place where money flows freely…..RIGHT ?
The rooms are spacious and comfortable. This is definitely five star accommodations! The furnishings are decorative as well as functional, the bedding is 1st rate and this hotel definitely puts the ROOM in Bathroom. The toilet is very spacious and the jetted tubs made for 2 are nice too!!! J
The staff is very friendly and helpful you will be made to feel extremely wanted and welcome there!
The view from the upper floors is wonderful. However, if you are afraid of heights you may want to avoid a room on the upper floors. The elevator alcove is made almost entirely out of glass and gives you a feeling that you are literally flying in air. Its an exhilarating experience but I imagine it can be frightful for those fearful of heights or someone who may be heavily intoxicated (DRUNK)
The hotel is 1st rate and if you can get the reservation to comp you in then you will be in for a treat.
The hotel is currently comps only since the nation has a large supply of high rollers, the place is booked solid and they have plans on the table to build another hotel tower adjacent to it…Wow!!!!
If you are a high roller and you get a comp to stay at this fine hotel then do not delay….get over there NOW!!!
