I'm here now and Cherokee is a good news and bad news situation. Your first time fortunately it will likely mostly feel good. However with subsequent trips it'll get worse and worse from my experience.
For example there are pages of players for 2/5. I'm 3rd on the list and have been waiting 30 minutes on a damn Saturday. Why don't they have dealers? Why are there so many players yet so many empty tables? It's beyond comprehension. They know they have the WSOP and they know what the bandwidth will be.
From my history with poker, more tables equals better games but these games seem less good the more I play. I think part of the problem is they have the tournament and 1/3 cash games in a separate area. That's where the good action and fishy players are. But they are segregated from 2/5 and higher. This is not to say the games are bad or difficult rather they just are not near as good as I would expect it to be for this many tables. I sat down Thursday for my first session and I immediately recognized a grinder from Louisville and a grinder from Atlanta. Those aren't really the players I want to play against.
If I could go somewhere else, I probably would. Maybe your experience will be better than mine.

As far as game quality, the WSOP brings in a lot of tourney players to the NLHE cash games, who might not be great at deep stack cash games but tend to make smaller errors and aren't really giving away a lot of money. The big gamblers/whales like to play the PLO and Big-O games, that's where all the action seems to go.
