Why do families who experience a Cherokee area vacation never venture anywhere else? Because Cherokee is at the heart of a four state mountain paradise with thousands of attractions. More than you can see and do in a week, a month or a year, but a lifetime of fascinating natural splendors wrapped in the three most treasured brands of hospitality on Earth … Native American hospitality, Southern hospitality and Mountain hospitality.
The beautiful town of Cherokee is anchored by the world-class accommodations and games of Harrah’s Cherokee Casino, but beyond the tables, suites and eclectic cuisine are three thousand waterfalls and hundreds of historic sites wrapped in mountains more than a million years old.
These are the same tourist videos that are being seen by tens of thousands of hotel guests daily from the Visitors' Information Channels TV shows. VIC provides visitors with interesting facts about each area in an entertaining fashion and offer a glimpse into some of the best tourist destinations in the Mountain south.
