Casino receives some criticism.
While it may be the main
attraction in Cherokee, the casino isn't immune when it comes to criticism.
Non-smoking guests are disappointed to learn that the smoking and non-smoking
areas of the casino have no barrier, meaning smoke passes through both.
Meanwhile, experienced casino-goers suggest that slot machines don't pay out as
much as other casinos.
negative:
Vast facility requires plenty of walking.
With more than 1,100 rooms on-site, not to mention other amenities, the casino resort is said to be an expansive facility. Guests report that getting to and from hotel rooms can involve a long, long walk.

Hefty price tag attached to Wi-Fi.
Many guests are dismayed
to learn that Wi-Fi doesn't come free of charge at the resort. In fact,
according to past visitors, the Wi-Fi comes with quite a hefty daily charge
attached to it.
