Unfortunately, the table limits are like Cherokee as well ($10 and up on most of their games, $15 and up on Blackjack). Table games are very similar to Cherokee: BJ, Three Card, Mississippi Stud, Roulette, Craps, and Baccarat. They do carry some of the newer machines such as Britney and Sons of Anarchy, as well as many old favorites. It's true the casino is on the small side, but there's still enough variety for most table and slot players. After three trips now, I can honestly say that I'll be back many more times. I would give the hotel a 5 star rating.Īs someone who loves going to Cherokee, but hates driving through the Nantahala Gorge, I was very excited when the Murphy location opened up.

I can't say enough good things about the hotel and we very much enjoyed our night there. The bed was all white with white sheets and a white comforter that included several nice soft pillows. The huge window had a nice pull down shade. The hotel was very nice with plush designed rooms, a bathroom with a glass door walk in shower and a nice granite countertop vanity with soft surround lighting, a closet with safe, a huge wall mounted TV, a small fridge, coffee maker with coffee. There was a small bar located in front of the food court. they had a food court with Nathan's Famous Hotdogs, which also had other offerings such as hamburgers and breakfast offerings, Papa John's Pizza, Earl of Sandwich, Starbucks and Panda Express that had a buffet offering different Chinese cuisine. I'm not much of a gambler and only paid the penny slots which were actually 30 cent slots.

They had live gaming tables with hundreds of slot machines surrounding with different themes and many poker slots. My review: I found the casino to be great and the casino floor was not small in the least. Due to the many people waiting to get in and waiting for a slot machine at the grand opening some gave it a not so nice review as some stated the casino floor was too small, however when we were there no lines were waiting to get in and no were lines waiting for a slot machine. 8 and we were surprised at how nice the casino and hotel were. We made reservations to spend the night at the casino hotel Oct. At it's grand opening Sept 28, there were lines of people and traffic waiting to get in so many people were turned away due to the casino being at full capacity or were told they could go to Harrah's in Cherokee NC 65 miles away through the beautiful Nantahala Gorge so some gave it negative reviews. Harrah's Cherokee Valley River Casino is a new Cherokee nation casino that opened Soutside of Murphy NC that's an offshoot of Harrah's Cherokee Casino Resort in Cherokee NC.
