New Casino in Cherokee County, NC Will Bring
It's a big development for a small town in North Carolina, just 90 minutes from Chattanooga.
NewsChannel 9 was allowed inside for an exclusive look at the new Harrah's Cherokee Valley River Casino in Cherokee County.
The casino is set to open up in September.
General Manager Lumpy Lambert says the 60,000 square foot game room alone will employee hundreds.
We're going to bring about 800 jobs to this region, that's a win-win for the tribe and county, we will bring a 32 to 39 million dollar payroll to the area and that's exciting, Lambert said.
The Eastern Band of the Cherokee Indians built the casino on federal, indian property. The revenue will go to the tribe but the benefits, jobs and economic boost will go to Cherokee County.
Cherokee County Economic Development Director Josh Carpenter says local and state governments are getting involved too.
NCDOT is building a 10 million dollar road project, which will add more acreage in front of casino, there's a huge push from state and local entities that will help, even the community college system has been preparing workforce to take those jobs, he said.
From the outside, the 300 room hotel sits on the left. Lambert says those rooms will be ready later this fall. The other side is the 60 thousand square-foot game room.
With less than 3 months to go, workers already have 800 slot bases out ready for slot machines. By the time they open, they'll have more than 1,000.
You're looking at an additional 10 to fifteen thousand cars a day, 4 million visitors a year, it will be huge opportunity for development here, Carpenter said.
Lambert says it is possible they could expand the casino in the future like they did with their last casino about an hour from Murphy in Cherokee, North Carolina.
The casino will be having a job fair Tuesday, June 23 at the Clay County Courthouse in Hayesville, NC.
You can also apply online here.

New Casino in Cherokee County, NC Opens
The Harrah's Cherokee Valley River Casino and Hotel opened, Monday.
The doors to the casino opened around 1:30 Monday afternoon.
A celebration for the community of a business creating more than 1,000 jobs.
All the jobs, that's exciting in itself, creating 1100 jobs in this region, of the 1100 about 850 are from this area, Lumpy Lambert, the General Manager for the casino said.
Traffic getting into the casino was backed up for miles.
Hundreds waited hours to be the some of the first inside, including Amy Miller, from Cleveland, Tenn.
We really like it, we live about an hour and a half from here so it's going to make it really convenient, Miller said.
We came to spend some money! and win a lot! she said.
The eastern band of the Cherokee Indians owns the land.
They use their federal trust land to build casinos like the one they have in Cherokee, North Carolina about 2 hours away.
Principal Chief Michell Hicks explains, We purchased the land from a tribal member about 2 years ago and obviously began the planning stage. It's a beautiful area. just seeing the views, it really takes you back.
He says the money they make here goes back to members of the tribe.
Basically a dividend every 6 months to all tribal members which is over 15,000, Hicks said.
The Cherokee County Economic Development Director says the casino will bring more than 10,000 cars to the area every day, which is inviting for retailers.
Those indirect jobs we're looking at probably 500 or so and then just continue the growth in that tourism and service sector of the economy, Josh Carpenter said.
Even other businesses in town are getting excited. Jeremiah Smith owns Doyle's Cedar Hill. He will now offer a shuttle from the casino to his fine dining restaurant.
All of a sudden I thought we're not ready for this and we need to get ready and hire some people because I think we're going to get a lot busier than expected, Smith said.
General Manager Lambert says they plan to fill and create more jobs in the near future.

Casino Planned For Cherokee County
For more great news, weather and sports go to
by John Madewell
A new law makes live poker, black jack and roulette available within a three hour drive to North Carolina.That same agreement opens the door for even closer gambling.North Carolina and the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Nation have agreed to live casino dealers at Harrah's in the town of Cherokee, North Carolina.And the table's now open for a new casino in Cherokee County just across the Polk County, TN line.Steve Coleman lives in Murphy and is 1/16th Cherokee. He has also been involved in acquiring the land for the proposed casino in Marble.Coleman motions to a forested peak off of Highway 74 and explains the plan, It's going to go back in there because it's on trust land. The tribe brought this front part so we could have access to the trust land.The casino itself has to be on trust land. Coleman says there are two tracts of trust land. One is 205 acres, the other is 250 acres. The tribe bought another roughly 340 acres to provide highway, rail and direct entrance to the proposed casino.It means a whole lot to us as far as being able to have another gaming facility.But there is opposition in Cherokee County and neighboring Polk County. Carol McPherson opposes the casino morally and for financial reasons. It takes money away from families.Yvette Welch also stands against the casino. Welch said, Health care, education reform, we've got a lot more issues and not only in Polk County, North Carolina, Georgia, but all across the United States.The compact also opens the table for live dealers at Harrah's in the town of Cherokee, which is about an hour down the road.Supporters say that move will bring in 400 jobs. Back at the proposed Marble casino, in Cherokee County, live dealers will not work the floor at first but may down the road.Snowbird council member Diamond Brown said long range plans envision a resort destination. The compact allows two more casinos in the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Nation.Tribal chief Michell Hicks said Marble is first priority. Coleman is good friends with the chief and his father used to be a tribal council member.He knows the 796 acres of land well and believes a casino will add a major boost to the local economy. It'll mean a whole lot. When you start bringing in gaming, I'm not so big on the gaming, but it's going to bring a lot of jobs with it.The U.S. Department of Interior still has to sign off on the compact but that is expected. The state receives 4 percent of gross receipts in the first five years. That percentage progressively rises up to 8 percent over the last 10 years of the compact.
Cherokee Expanded Gaming Approved
Federal officials gave the final green light Friday for live dealers at Harrahs Cherokee Casino. The Department of Interior signed off on the Tribal State Gaming Compact. Two job fairs were held there last month to fill the nearly 400 positions the agreement will create. Under the compact, part of the revenue from the tables will go to the state for education funding.

New Casino Groundbreaking
A new casino is on its way to Cherokee County and along with it, hundreds of jobs.The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians broke ground Tuesday on the $110,000,000 casino. It will be built just outside of Murphy and called Harrahs Cherokee Valley River.The tribe says it will generate up to $39,000,000 in wages for the surrounding area. The average wage is going to be north of $35,000, says Chief Michell Hicks.It will be similar to Harrahs on the Cherokee reservation, but smaller, and operated by Caesars Entertainment. We have the potential to hire up to a thousand employees. We have the potential to work with all counties in Western North Carolina, says Harrahs Cherokee General Manager Brooks Robinson.The casino will include 60,000 square feet of slots and table games, a 300-room hotel, and restaurants.State Senator Jim Davis knows this casino will economically help this part of his district. He also reiterates the a message from Chief Hicks. As the Chief said, it goes to buy a lot of revenue, the source of funds to keep the Cherokee tradition and the culture alive.Construction begins next month, with parts of the new casino expected to open a year from now. The NCDOT will build a new bridge beginning in January to accommodate the casino.By Rex HodgeFollow Rex on Twitter @RexHodgeWLOS
