Richard Sneed, Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians principal chief, said the expanded resort will bring a new revenue stream: “In addition to offering unique experiences for visitors, this expansion project will attract conventions and will provide more space for businesses and associations to network in a way that has not always been accommodable in the past. 'Introduced in this project is additional lodging and dining options, plus a convention center that nearly triples our previous rentable meeting space.” “We have positioned ourselves as the leader in the entertainment industry in the Carolinas with our diversified experiences and amenities, and the completion of this three-and-a-half-year expansion project further solidifies our standing,' said Brooks Robinson, regional SVP and general manager of Harrah’s Cherokee Casinos.
Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort in Cherokee, N.C., has opened the resort’s fourth hotel tower, The Cherokee, and the 83,000-square-foot Cherokee Convention Center. The opening of these new amenities marks the completion of the property's $330 million expansion project, which broke ground in June 2018.
