Overall, this was a decent stay. Rooms were decent, we only had issue with getting the shower cleaned better, but the front desk took care of us and gave me food credit to use anywhere in the hotel/casino. Casino was decent, even though it wasn't many tables open which was probably because it was mid week versus the weekend. So, like I said, decent stay, would stay again. Side note, if you trying to decide which Harrah's is better, Murphy or Cherokee, I would say Cherokee. This is solely based on the casino experience and not the hotel.
