To answer your query: There is poker. Gambling is going on.
It is easy to attack Cherokee--they have so many flaws. If you don't like it, the next closest legal poker is in Florida 300 miles away.
Think about this: You are in business making a
lot of money, you are one of the most profitable establishments of your type, your product is in high demand, and addictive, you have a monopoly in half of North Carolina, and your nearest competition is 300 miles away. You don't have to be perfect. That's the way Harrah's is running the Cherokee casino.
NinjaA, I would think that you would like the convenience of Cherokee. If you want comps in Cherokee you have to hit the slots or be a roller in the pit. If you are dumping $10,000 a month toward Cherokee's bottom line your every need would be met. Guaranteed.
I've always had a good time in Cherokee. I find it pretty pricey for what it is; I miss the late 90s at the Horseshoe in Tunica, comped rooms, free buffet tickey at any time, and good food, too, free alcohol at anytime--what a freakin' place that was.
If I had to rate Cherokee on a 100 scale: 88 B+ good but lacking.
Alcohol at Cherokee: Always ask your bartender what the well liquor is. $10 for a shot of Patrón is crazy. I think Jose mixto is the well for $4. I found Teacher's Irish Cream in the well for $4, a great bargain.
