Harrahs Cherokee is really spread out and has a lot of sitting space and wide open areas. I think the walk to the cashier, total rewards desks, food court, non smoking casino, Brio and shopping areas are about the same really. It’s closer to Ruth’s Chris and the Multi-Tainment bowling and arcade super duper plex thing. I personally feel like it’s a quicker walk to the casino from this elevator. It has tubs (Soco has jetted tubs, Mountain non-jetted). The Mountain tower shares elevators with the other end of the Soco.

It’s closest to the parking garage, checkin desk, lobby cafe, and Selu Garden restaurant. It shares elevators with one side of the Soco.

The Creek tower is the newest (but is showing some wear now imo). There are two indoor skywalks that cross the creek, connecting the hotel to the casino.

Because the hotel towers are on one side of the creek and the casino is on the other, and because both sets of elevator banks for the hotel are on the complete opposite end from the casino, you pretty much have a 150 yard + walk.
