This Weekend Getaway In North Carolina Is The Perfect Answer For The Winter Blues

Whether you're a native North Carolinian or have moved to the Tar Heel State from someplace else, a visit to the mountain town of Cherokee is a trip like no other in this fine state. Year-round, Cherokee has entertainment galore and Harrah's Casino is chief among the places to find it in the wintertime.

Think of it as a miniature, indoor Las Vegas — and an ideal way to escape the doldrums of winter.

The 21-story hotel has nice, clean and affordable accommodations with sunrise and sunset views looking out over the rolling mountains in the surrounding area.

And the 150,000 square foot casino has hours and hours of entertainment.

If you love the excitement found on a casino floor, then Harrah's in Cherokee is the place to find it. But... if you need a break from the action... other fun is available right here in the resort.

You may feel like you're in a big city in the shops found at the resort. You can spend hours perusing the latest fashions, checking out perfumes, handbags, and more.

Or, take in a concert! Who doesn't love a concert? Air Supply just wrapped up a show here; upcoming shows include Dwight Yokum, Travis Tritt, The Marshall Tucker Band, Jamey Johnson, and Colt Fold. Some of the best getaways have been planned around concerts and Harrah's in Cherokee is a wonderful venue to see one. View the upcoming calendar here.

No casino resort would be complete without a variety of restaurants.

Harrah's in Cherokee has everything from a Dunkin' Donuts to a walk-up Noodle Bar and a few lovely eateries perfect for a special occasion. From pizza to burgers, seafood and Italian, even the pickiest of eaters will find something to love.

Do you have the winter blues or blahs? Perhaps all you need is a road trip to Cherokee!
