I drove from Charleston SC to visit this Casino.First let me say I have traveled all over the world and been in hundreds of different Casinos.This Casino is by far the most poorly run and folks all these negative reviews left for this Casino are there for a reason.Not all the reviews left are by those who lost money at this Casino.I did not lose one red cent.Folks the mountains in Cherokee are beautiful but that is the only thing there worth looking at.The rooms are filthy and smell of tobacco.Maggie Valley is a ghost town and most of the road side vendors are gone.I spoke with many business owners in the town of Cherokee and all of them said the Casino coming there only hurt their business.So the truth is only Harrahs Casino actually makes a profit.Is it really worth 7,000.00 dollars a year to each indian to have a Casino on your land that puts all the true business owners around it out of business.I see the Indians losing money not making it.Read all the reviews left for this Casino folks.The advice is for free.
