Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort

I was impressed by the style of the hotel room and bathroom! Also got a cute gift bag with some scented soap and lotion of which I am excited to use. My first day at the hotel I checked in at 4pm and headed to dinner at Celebrity Chef Guy Fieri's Kitchen + Bar. 

1. Wicked Weed Brewery – Wicked Weed Brewpub offers a robust menu of signature local craft beers and ciders from the popular Wicked Weed Brewery located in Asheville. The 1,200- square-foot restaurant features a 36-seat main bar, a walk-up tasting bar as well as a stage for live entertainment. Complementing the selection of 24 craft beers is a menu of traditional brewery fare from across the world curated by Executive Chef Kayla Snipes. From the poutine with crispy fries, mushroom gravy, and fried cheese curds to the hickory nut gap bratwurst with caramelized onion, pineapple citrus slaw and Lusty Monk mustard, guests will find the perfect pairing for their beer, cider, cocktail or wine

I ordered some Salmon, greens and mac & cheese with a glass of wine.

2. Holiday Concert with The Dionne Warwick – I attended a very beautiful Holiday Concert with legendary Dionne Warwick where she sang some our favorite Christmas Carols. It was nostalgic.

Dionne Warwick is a six-time Grammy Award-winning music legend who
has earned more than 75 charted hit songs and sold over 100 million
records. She was discovered by Burt Bacharach and Hal David in 1961 and
went on to record 18 consecutive Top 100 singles (“Don’t Make Me
Over,” “Walk on By,” “Say a Little Prayer,” “A House is Not a Home,”
“Alfie,” “Heartbreaker,” “Déjà Vu,” among countless others). She
received her first Grammy in 1968 for “Do You Know the Way to San
Jose?”. Ms. Warwick became the first African American solo female artist
of her generation to win the prestigious award for Best Contemporary
Female Vocalist Performance.

3. Brio Tuscan Grille – I ordered a very delicious Calamari snacker, Steak Salad and Tiramisu with a glass of virgin Pina Colada!

Brio Tuscan Grille is an authentic Northern Italian specialty. BRIO features hard wood
infused pizza oven and oven-roasted steaks, chops, fresh fish, and made-to-order
pastas. Tuscan small bites are offered, along with an extensive wine list with a
large Italian contingent served by the glass.

4. Harrah’s Casino – Harrah’s Cherokee Casino has a mile line of BlackJack, Arcade Games, Poker and Bowling. I got a slot to play at some of the arcade games. It was my first time and a very interesting and fun experience.

5. Guy’s Fieri’s Kitchen + Barb – Had a refreshing dinner in Guy Fieri ‘s Kitchen + Bar Lobster Lollipops, 16oz Ribeye and Mac&Cheese Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort 🍽🦞🍹

Guy Fieri’s Cherokee Kitchen + Bar features Guy Fieri’s “Real Deal” signature menu items and beloved
favorites including the multi-award winning Bacon Mac-N-Cheese Burger served with crispy bacon, mac-n-cheese and donkey sauce on top of a garlic buttered brioche bun, the Signature Bourbon Brown Sugar BBQ
Wings smothered in Guy’s famous sauce and served with crispy fried onion straws, and the “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” favorite, the Motley Que Pulled Pork on a toasted pretzel bun.

6. Soco Falls – A 15minute drive from the resort located just a short walk off the main road, is a perfect way to start your scenic adventure.

I picked up a few items to commemorate my stay!

Other Attractions

Fire Mountain Trails – The Fire Mountain Trails are Cherokee’s newest source for big adventure—a multiuse trail system that’s made to mountain bike, hike, or run. The network of trails is more than 10.5 miles total, so there’s plenty of room for everyone to recreate safely and responsibly

Museum of Cherokee Indians – Experience the 12,000-year-old Cherokee story vividly. If your idea of a museum includes dusty displays tended by a boring curator, get ready to rediscover what a museum can be. Inspired by the beauty and ingenuity of the Cherokee people, this is a cultural and historical tour without equal, one fused with interactive video, intriguing displays, and a full sensory experience. 

Sequoyah Golf Course – Your Sequoyah National Golf Club experience begins with a Robert Trent Jones II design and dramatic mountain beauty. Look closer, and you’ll discover a challenging layout literally engraved with Cherokee history. And as you rattle home your final putt on the 18th, don’t forget to take one last look at what the Cherokee have held sacred for 11,000 years plus: raw, pristine nature.
