Harrah's Cherokee Valley River

I'm planning to visit the new casino on their opening day 9/28 (after my homework is done of course- lol)

I like checking out new casinos. I will make a decision which one I like better after I see if I win anything also see what kind of comps I get there.

I heard they are going to have Earl of Sandwich so my BF will want to go just for that....

OMG, Earl of Sandwich!!! That will be a big improvement from the food court at Cherokee.
You are a brave soul going on the first day. Please report back!

@zeus. I'm with you on hoping it will free up some rooms at Cherokee. I'm sure they have planned for expansion already at the new casino hoping to get a lot more of the GA traffic.

@dwwright12 is it closer for you?

No. At least one hour farther away. Maybe 1 1/2 hour.

But the Earl of Sandwich!!!......I think you were the fellow who first told me of the place years ago, now a Vegas trip is not complete without a visit.

Yeah! That seems so long ago! I will definitely go there some time. The Earl is one of my favorites. Love the Hawaiian Chicken Sandwich.

It was a while ago...I think we were still on Players Life, just looked it may have been 2010...

So, North Carolina is getting a second casino this month. It will be 1/3rd the size of the current Cherokee casino. I am wondering what the folks in Georgia feel about the new casino? It will be closer to you, but the lack of size and eateries seem disappointing. Will you drive further to Cherokee due to the amenities and use Valley River for a quick fix?

I just hope it frees up some rooms for us in the Charlotte area! :rockon:

The carpet and wall decor looks familiar! I think they saved it from the original casino and are recycling!!

Years ago when I first visited Cherokee I thought it looked like a huge barn with continous rows of slots. And the lightning strikes that would go off in the ceiling periodically. My how that casino has changed.
I truly hope that it is successful and that they do expand it. Like you, it is an hour further from Charlotte than Cherokee is. And after being spoiled with a 150k square foot casino with over 4,000 slots I am not sure the distance would be worth it for a 50k square foot casino with 1,000 slots.
