Harrahs Cherokee Casino in Cherokee, North Carolina. They attract thousands of high paying jobs, spin off tourist attractions and they are great for helping to attract conventions. I support casinos because its an easy way to attract major tourism to a city that doesn't have natural attractions such as beaches, mountains or rivers. Looks like until Casino gambling is allowed in our state, Greensboro residents will once again travel to Danville. Before NC got a state lottery, Greensboro residents drove to Danville to get lottery tickets. Its a little over a half hour north of Greensboro along Highway 29/future I-785. Danville is on the NC/VA state line bordering the Triad. But imagine casinos opening in Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro or Wilmington.ĭanville, VA is planning to build a casino once the state approves casino gambling. Also another casino called Harrahs Cherokee Valley River which opened in 2015. There is a Harrahs Casino in Cherokee, NC.
Currently the only casinos allowed in North Carolina are on Indian reservations. Looks like Virginia could be close to allowing casinos in their state.
