In 2012, the casino resort nestled in the Smoky Mountains completed a $650 million expansion. We left and went to Mt Airey Casino about 45 min away in a much nicer setting, with a pool and not as much walking.Explore Harrah’s Cherokee Hotel and Casino Dealer put a fan on the table (so obviously this is an issue). Hubby playing table game had 4 smokers at his table and there was no spots open to move to. They do have a separate smoking area but it is quite large and the air does come to non smoking area. And probably the worst part about this casino is the smoke. I guess it’s catch 22, they want the players, but won’t staff for it until big enough demand. Is this due to lack of help or planning? We had tried other regional casinos on a Tues and lots of items were closed.

One person in our party had to wait over an hour to get a seat at a table game. On a Thurs and Fri only half table games were open. If you list between $75 and $1,000 on slots they would put a credit in your players club card so you could come back and gamble on them. Casino is fenced off so you have a common entrance to be sure you are of age. It’s a long walk from hotel elevators to casino. I’ll leave another review on the AAA 4 Diamond Hotel under places to stay, but I’ll start with no pool, no in room dining and a temp gym and we paid over $200 for a room. We had been here once before in 2015 or 2016 when it was a Sands property. Its not well noted in their info but there are minifridges and coffee makers in the rooms. Large room with a really nice bathroom and a large shower that wasn't afraid to give you enough hot water to get clean. Horse racing available on certain days of the week, be sure to check racing schedule for times and days.īest surprise here was how well the rooms are layed out.

They do have designated non-smoking areas but the smell of smoke permeates the entire area. The bad: casino floor was very small and they allow smoking in the casino. Breakfast is especially challenging with only one coffee shop being open when we were there and they had a very limited menu. The so-so: dining options are limited on weekdays are limited with many restaurants being closed except for on the weekends. The staff in all areas were very professional and accommodating. The good: the hotel room, the casino, the restaurants and the restrooms were all very clean. Surprisingly good casino hotel for the hinterlands of Pennsylvania.
