Harrah's Cherokee Casino Resort - A Caesars Rewards Destination

10/10 Excellent
"Our 2 queen room in the Cherokee Tower was very nice. Lunch at Selu Garden Cafe was delicious. I had a cup of squash soup and shared a quarter of my husband's club sandwich and fries. There is a designated room for players that smoke; however, a huge section of the casino reeked of smoke. We self parked in the garage attached to the Cherokee Tower. Park on level 3 near the elevator to walk right into the hotel then down an escalator to lobby or take the elevator to the lobby. Be prepared for a lot of walking. A security guard told us it was a mile long from end to end."
