Fairly frequent advertising of the Casino and WSOP-C on local Atlanta and Charlotte TV stations, and also billboards.

Poker room staff says they expect to have a few live dealer tables in about 2 weeks, probably for 2/5 NLHE and above (don't know about Omaha, etc) . They will have extra cash tables with live dealers just for the Circuit event.

Lowest rate at venue itself was $89 or $99 seemed to change depending upon which Caesar's rep I was talking with.
Try Priceline and use the Priceline Express booking for cheaper rooms within a few miles of Cherokee (not including the Casino Hotel). Priceline Express requires advance payment and is non-refundable, but will save you some bucks if your dates are firm. I used it in the past and ended up at the Comfort Inn, which was perfectly acceptable. You can use regular Priceline, Expedia, Travelocity, or Orbitz if you need to know the exact hotel and if you may need to cancel. Prices will be higher on Friday and Saturdays.
