The casino in Murphy is very close and makes it a much shorter drive for us Georgia people. Nice place and the casino plans to expand. Both Cherokee and Murphy have the tightest slots I have seen though. I am a platinum member and that means nothing with these properties. If you are platinum in Vegas or other areas for Harrah's, you are treated much better. I played blackjack for about 5 hrs and lost around $500 and asked for some food comps. I got $4 bucks. No lie. Let's face it, no competition is the issue. If Georgia finally allows casinos, these two casinos are in trouble. Good variety of slots and table games. They have several fast food options, but that's about it. Most of the employees are very friendly. The only issue we had was house keeping didn't clean out room our first night and we had to call them to ask them to come.
