On a sunny afternoon in Murphy, North Carolina, the Harrah’s Cherokee Valley River Casino and Hotel celebrated a major milestone in its construction with a topping out ceremony. The event marked the completion of the highest point of the new hotel tower, a towering structure that will soon offer luxurious accommodations to guests visiting the casino.
The topping out ceremony was attended by a host of local officials, community members, and construction workers who have been diligently working on the project since its inception. As tradition dictates, a small tree was placed atop the building to symbolize growth and good luck for the future of the establishment.
The new hotel tower, which is set to open in early 2023, will feature 300 guest rooms and suites, each offering stunning views of the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains. In addition to the hotel accommodations, the tower will also house a state-of-the-art fitness center, a rooftop bar and lounge, and several high-end dining options for guests to enjoy.
The expansion of the Harrah’s Cherokee Valley River Casino and Hotel is part of a larger development project that aims to enhance the resort experience for visitors to the area. In addition to the new hotel tower, plans for a new convention center, retail space, and additional gaming amenities are in the works, cementing the casino’s status as a premier destination in Western North Carolina.
“We are thrilled to reach this important milestone in the construction of our new hotel tower,” said Brooks Robinson, General Manager of Harrah’s Cherokee Valley River Casino. “This expansion represents a significant investment in our property and in the local economy, and we look forward to welcoming even more guests to experience everything that our resort has to offer.”
The topping out ceremony was a cause for celebration among the construction team, who have been working tirelessly to bring the project to fruition. As a token of appreciation, a traditional barbecue feast was held for the workers and their families, complete with live music and entertainment.
As the sun set over the mountains, the Harrah’s Cherokee Valley River Casino and Hotel stood tall, a beacon of luxury and excitement in the heart of the Smoky Mountains. With the completion of the new hotel tower, the casino is poised to attract even more visitors and establish itself as a premier destination for gaming and entertainment in Western North Carolina.
