With sleek, air-conditioned rooms, indoor and outdoor pools, and a full-service spa and sauna, it’s an ideal base for concert-goers looking to unwind or keep the energy going.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything — and being just a 3-minute walk from Harrah's event center makes catching a show stress-free. You’ll skip the parking hassle and enjoy a quick stroll back to your room post-show. The resort’s late-night vibe and 24-hour front desk make it easy to come and go on your own schedule.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Fans who want a relaxing retreat after the encore
• Budget-conscious music lovers who still want resort-level perks

Food and Drink Options

Whether you're grabbing a post-concert bite or brunching after a late night, you're covered. There’s an on-site restaurant and bar, plus several casual and upscale dining options within the casino complex. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the resort’s range of eateries stays open late, and breakfast is available to help you recover in style.

Nightlife Options

This is a resort that brings the party to you. In addition to live shows at the casino venue, you’ll find on-site bars serving up cocktails and local brews. If you're looking to keep the night going, the casino floor hums with energy late into the night. Prefer a mellow scene? Lounge-friendly spots within walking distance offer a chill alternative.

What People Say

Guests rave about the clean, spacious rooms and the resort feel that doesn't skimp on comfort. Many highlight the convenience of being close to concerts, the friendly 24/7 staff, and the wide range of things to do without leaving the property. The indoor and outdoor pools also earn high marks, especially for pre- or post-show lounging.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that check-out at 8:00 AM feels a bit early after a late night — it’s worth confirming if late check-out is possible. Also, while WiFi is free, a few visitors have mentioned signal issues in certain rooms. That said, the overall resort experience more than makes up for these small hiccups.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a concert in Cherokee, Harrah's Cherokee Casino Resort delivers a vibrant, comfortable base with entertainment, dining, and nightlife all in one place.
