Before we got off the bus, the tour director told to to ask for the 'motorcoach' area if we got lost. After getting something to eat, I tried to find the area that I had previously played in, I got LOST! The casino is really large and all of the areas look the same. I knew to 'cash-ou' when I wanted to take a break and wander around to find the food section. I noticed that I won more in the beginning, and near the end there was a lot fewer increases in my total. I had expected to 'loose money', and I watched the counter decrease for quite a while. I found one where you can spend $.01 per spin and bet only $.01. After she showed me her favorite machine and technique, I sought for my own machine. She told me that when she first played, when moving machines she forgot to 'cash-out' and essentially left money in the machine for the next player. She searched for a particular machine and gave me a 3-minute lesson on inserting the players-card and using the voucher. She told me about going with Cathy and the group for many years and that there are usually 3 trips a year.

I followed my seat-mate, Linda, to her favorite area.

After verifying our age, the employee scanned our 'players-card' and gave us a $20 voucher. (You needed to be 18, I think, to enter). One-by-one, he saw our drivers-license photo id with proof-of-age. When we drove up, a Harrah's employee had a mobile workstation and greeted us. We were both let-out and picked-up from the motorcoach entrance door. The bus entered the parking garage by the road shown on the fifth picture of the photos. If the reader would like to see the casino area, then use and search for Harrah's Cherokee Casino. The size of the Cherokee hotel/casino/entertainment complex was much larger than I had previously seen. Also, in a previous casino, there was a strict rule of not taking pictures.

I didn't take many pictures because the windows of the motorcoach would distort the pictures. This was the first time that I had been with the group and was amazed at how much the casino had changed since I last visited there about 15 years ago. We stopped in Cornelia,GA for a McDonald's breakfast and arrived at Harrah's casino about 11:30. It is about 3 hours drive from my house, but since I was going with a group, I drove to Lawrenceville and the bus left about 8am. I went with Seniors-On-The-Go-Travel on a motorcoach 'day' trip. trip from Atl,GA to Cherokee,NC (Harrah's casino, by motorcoach) (Note: to make the page larger hit the Ctrl and + keys at the same time.
