Restaurants In Caesars Windsor Casino
Harrah's Cherokee Casino Resort is a casino and hotel on the Qualla Boundary in Cherokee, North Carolina. It is owned by the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and operated by Caesars Entertainment. It is located on the site of the former Frontier Land theme park. It is one of two casinos in North Carolina. A sister property, Harrah's Cherokee Valley River Casino in Murphy, North Carolina opened on September 28, 2015.
History[edit]
Harrah's Cherokee opened in November 1997 with video poker as the only gaming option. This followed the opening of a tribal bingo parlor in the early 1990s, which was quite profitable and led to calls for a casino. The casino came after several years of discord between the State of North Carolina and the Eastern Cherokees. Governor Jim Hunt resisted the casino, but the state was forced to enter into an agreement with tribal authorities by the federal courts. Since then, the tribe has used its casino revenues to build a new high school, a hospital, and public housing, and to upgrade public safety services on the reservation, such as police, fire and EMS. Part of the casino's revenue is also distributed directly to the Cherokee population, in a form of basic income.[1] The casino is also credited with opening the door for gambling in North Carolina. The casino also heralded a relaxation of alcohol laws in the area, with liquor-by-the-drink being legalized in nearby Bryson City, Sylva, and Cherokee itself.[citation needed]

Features and design[edit]
Hotel[edit]
Harrah's Cherokee has three hotel towers (Creek Tower, Soco Tower, and the Mountain Tower) with a total of 1,108 rooms, making Harrah's Cherokee the largest hotel in North Carolina.
Casino[edit]
Since the tribe's compact with North Carolina restricts the types of gaming permitted, most of the games offered have significant differences with those found in other casinos. The compact with North Carolina requires games to have an element of skill. For most of the video slot machines, this means that after an initial spin of the reels, the player is allowed to lock selected reels in place and spin again, holding reels with valuable symbols in hopes of matching them up with winning symbols on the second spin. (This differs from 'regular' slot machines, in which the reels usually spin only once after credits are played, although video poker everywhere allows players to hold cards before the second spin.)
The casino now has converted many of their slot machines to 'Cherokee Raffle Reels,' which require the player to insert their Total Rewards slot card into the machine before playing. This raffle entry is considered to be the second chance to win required by law, and has allowed the casino to phase out many of the 'lock-and-roll' style machines for traditional video and reel slot machines.[2]
The tribe reached an agreement with the state on November 25, 2011, to allow live cards at Harrah's Cherokee.[3] The casino began introducing live table games in 2012. As of summer 2014, there are over 100 table games.
The casino has a non-smoking poker room with 20 tables. No-limit hold'em tournaments are run daily, including larger buy-in deep stack tourneys on the weekends. The casino also regularly hosts World Series of Poker circuit events in the Events Center which feature a variety of tournaments and concurrent cash games.
Amenities[edit]
The Harrah's Cherokee complex includes a 15,000 sq ft (1,400 m2) conference center, a 3,000-seat events center, the Essence Lounge, a workout room, a lobby cafe, and a food court with four restaurants, Chef's Stage Buffet, Ruth's Chris Steak House, and BRIO Tuscan Grille. Harrah's Cherokee also has an indoor pool that is open year round as well as an outdoor pool open during the summer months. The outdoor pool also features its own bar and food service with a unique menu. Harrah's Cherokee also features the UltraStar Multi-Tainment center, a bowling complex including arcade, restaurant, entertainment stage, and multiple bars. This complex has 24 lanes for bowling, 16 standard and 8 VIP style.
Alcohol sales[edit]
On June 5, 2009, alcohol sales at the casino were approved by the tribe. Alcohol is served from 7 a.m. until 2 a.m. Monday through Saturday and from noon until 2 a.m. on Sunday. The first alcoholic beverage was served on December 29, 2009, at 5 p.m.[4] While alcohol sales are outlawed on the Cherokee reservation, new breweries have been established close to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.

After nearly seven months, Caesars Windsor will welcome back select members under the province's Stage 3 reopening guidelines on Oct. 8.
In a news release Tuesday, the casino announced it will be reopening its doors to select members. Only slot machines will be available to a maximum of 50 guests at a time. Due to the limited number of people allowed indoors, the casino will only be open to invited Caesars Rewards members until capacity limits expand.
Those who are invited to return will be notified via email and required to reserve a spot in advance.
'With an emphasis on our enhanced health and safety protocols, this initial phase of reopening provides an opportunity to recall additional team members and reconnect with our Caesars Rewards customers,' president of Caesars Windsor Kevin Laforet said in a news release.
'We look forward to welcoming back more of our valued guests and team members when we are able to expand our capacity on property,' he said.
The company says it has implemented new health and safety protocols including:
- All employees and guests must wear masks that cover their nose and mouth.
- Slot machines are spaced out according to physical distancing guidelines.
- Hand sanitizing stations will be placed throughout the casino.
- Increased cleaning and sanitization throughout the property.
- Plexiglass barriers placed between employees and guests at various locations.
- Employees and guests must complete a health questionnaire before entering the casino.
- All employees must take a temperature check before starting work.
- Table games, poker rooms, restaurants, bars and the hotel will be closed until further notice.

Chairperson Dana Dunphy said the union has been told the casino will be open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. No amenities or third party vendors will be allowed to open and only non-alcoholic refreshments will be offered.
On top of the 83 people currently working at Caesers, Dunphy said the company will recall 115 staff, including: janitors, restroom cleaners, slot attendants, Caesars Rewards representatives, cashiers, bankers, auditors, beverage bartenders, bar porters, Av technicians, tailors and security personnel.

The recalls will take place before Oct. 8 so each department can be trained under the new operating procedures.
According to the union, the casino is looking at giving customers four-hour sessions. Only the first floor will be open and each customer will have to complete a health screening before passing security.
