Harrah’s Cherokee Valley River has unveiled a 25,000 sq. ft. expansion of its casino floor, marking a substantial milestone in the $275 million development project. This significant addition introduces a diverse selection of gaming options to North Carolina bettors, elevating the casino’s offerings to new heights. The venue is one of three currently offering retail sports betting in the state.

Guests Can Enjoy Exciting New Experiences

The expanded casino floor now boasts 300 new slot machines and eight additional table games, providing guests with an extensive selection of gaming experiences. Further enhancing the guest experience, the expansion features a new 22-seat casino bar equipped with nine state-of-the-art bar-top video games and eight beer taps. It offers a dynamic and inviting atmosphere for guests.

Among the new attractions is the much-anticipated World Series of Poker – Poker Room, a lavishly designed space that caters to poker pros and casual players. The poker room offers a variety of cash games, including popular options such as Three Card Poker and Texas Hold’em, and is open extra long on Fridays and Saturdays.

The venue announced its expansion plans in December 2023, noting it expected to invest $275 million. The project hired local artists to infuse the new spaces with culture and help reinvest in local communities. This expansion should allow Harrah’s Cherokee Valley River to meet rising player numbers and stay competitive with North Carolina’s other tribal casinos.

The Casino Remains a Leading Gaming Destination

This expansion also aims to retain the casino’s appeal amidst North Carolina’s newly unveiled online sports wagering market. Guests can immerse themselves in the venue’s comprehensive hospitality offerings and exciting gaming options, enjoying a one-of-a-kind experience impossible to replicate online. Since commercial casino legalization is not yet on the horizon, the tribal venue should have sufficient time to cement its leadership position.

Lumpy Lambert, general manager of Harrah’s Cherokee Valley River Casino & Hotel, expressed excitement regarding this exciting milestone, lauding the hard work and dedication of internal team members and Robins & Morton, the general contractor working on the project. He was optimistic that guests would appreciate the new offerings and create new memories in the casino.

Every detail of the casino floor expansion was selected to ensure memorable experiences, and we are confident that our new amenities and offerings will exceed our guests’ expectations.

This expansion is a testament to Harrah’s Cherokee Valley River’s commitment to enhancing the guest experience and providing a sophisticated and thrilling environment catering to the preferences of all visitors. The new amenities and gaming options should draw even more guests to the casino, solidifying its position as a premier entertainment destination in the region.

Located just an easy drive from Atlanta and Chattanooga, Harrah’s Cherokee Valley River Casino & Hotel is not only an exciting destination for games in the Western North Carolina region but also a superb accommodation option for overnight visitors. 

However, 2024 is going to see the venue expand even more thanks to an upcoming $275 million construction project that will bring an expanded 25,000 square foot gaming floor for players, a hotel tower with 296 rooms, and a massive parking deck with 1,500 spaces. 

The exciting expansion project was initiated on September 29, closely following the casino’s seventh anniversary.

According to Harrah’s Cherokee Valley River’s general manager, Lumpy Lambert, the highly-anticipated expansion project he had envisioned years ago is expected to generate revenue for the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI). 

At the same time, the project is expected to assist “tribal distribution for enrolled members and job opportunities”. 

Representatives of general contractor Robins & Morton along with GM Lambert took a tour of the new sites that will host 400 brand new slot machines next year, together with one dozen table games, a casino bar that will count 22 seats, and a World Series of Poker poker room with 10 seats. 

Lambert expressed his content regarding the progress of the project whose necessity was identified eight years ago when the venue opened its gates to the world. 

While “looking forward to the opportunity to grow and expand”, Lambert also projected 100 fresh incremental positions and further emphasized their main goals to support tribal programming and distribution for the EBCI.

Local Artists to Help Maintain Cultural Integration 

The upgrade will include a series of specific design elements showcasing the Cherokee culture to maintain the cultural integration of Harrah’s Cherokee Casinos.

With this idea in mind, the project will hire local artists whose role will be to “infuse the culture” as best as possible. 

The new gaming floor is expected to become available for casino patrons and guests alike by the middle of 2024. 

The parking deck will shortly follow, with an estimated opening time scheduled for the summer of 2024. Finally, the new hotel tower will become available to the public toward the end of next year. 

For the time being, the River Tower provides 300 spacious guest rooms endowed with state-of-the-art amenities conveniently located right next to the gaming space. The venue is also home to UltraStar, a bowling alley and arcade that packs numerous family-friendly gaming options.
